Description
Seagulls are very clever. They learn, remember and even pass on behaviours, such as stamping their feet in a group to imitate rainfall and trick earthworms to come to the surface.
....................................................................................................................
Seagulls� intelligence is clearly demonstrated by a range of different feeding behaviours, such as dropping hard-shelled molluscs onto rocks so that they break open so they can eat them, and following ploughs in fields where they know upturned grubs and other food sources will be plentiful.
.....................................................................................................................
.Seagulls are attentive and caring parents. The male and female pair for life and they take turns incubating the eggs, and feeding and protecting the chicks.
....................................................................................................................
Gulls have a complex and highly developed repertoire for communication which includes a range of vocalisations and body movements.
....................................................................................................................
Seagulls can drink both fresh and salt water. Most animals are unable to do this, but seagulls have a special pair of glands right above their eyes which is specifically designed to flush the salt from their systems through openings in the bill.

Kay, Fantastic action shot of this seagull soaring high above in the sky. Excellent sky shot also with fantastic details and great capture of the colors in the sky and the clouds. Excellent capture of the seagull with his wings spread completely out and the details are very powerful. Remarkable clarity in this photo and the the way you have captured this seagull in full flight is amazing. Excellent shot, fav, voted, google and tweet promoted and selected as my Pay It Forward from the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery group
