You know I love these birds. I remember going to the beach and throwing some bread I didn't want. A gull then just flew by and caught it in mid air.

[AlyxxTheRat]

Some of my favourite birds. Love their calls and how they generally aren't afraid of people.

I love them dearly and often feed them tons of food. They are one of the smartest bird and master of flying too.

Love the way gulls talk to each other. Currently watching nesting gulls on a neighbour’s chimney - 4th year. They are the most wonderfully attentive parents, taking it in turns to fetch food and sit, and staying close to each other.

A seagull once took a sandwich right out of my hands.

I remember I disliked them, then one got trapped between mine and the neighbours shed in thorns, so I saved it and in return it nests on my roof and knocks on my back door for food in the mornings, I love them now.

I love seagulls. There is something magical about they're ability to not care about anything.

They are smart and funny. Interesting to look after .

I love them. When they take naps on the beach they’re so cute and then they get up and waddle over to the shore line to dip their feet in. I can’t!! 😂

[JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Bold and resourceful. Cheers for the upload.

Parking lots 🤓 just got done giving seagulls my French fries from Jack. These birds are bad ass.

[Jtzoro_smoke]

These birds are exactly like humans. Smart, cruel and will eat anything.

[Pomni]

They're rats with wings and I'm glad they're not bigger because they would be eating people too.

The biggest gull is more of an "EAGULL"😂
