Seagulls
Seagulls are medium-sized gulls. The legs and slender bill without spot rings are greenish-yellow, the tail is white, the primary flight feathers are tipped white, and they have large white wing mirrors. In winter, fine brown lines are scattered on the head and neck, and sometimes there is black on the tip of the mouth. Seagulls have a muscular body and are endearing. The feathers on the lower part of their bodies are as white as snow. Seagulls are migratory birds and are distributed from Europe, Asia to Alaska and western North America. It is found in the northeastern provinces of China during migration. Overwintering in the entire coastal areas including Hainan Island and Taiwan; also found in most inland lakes and rivers in East and South China.
Seagulls feed on seaside insects, molluscs, crustaceans, as well as worms and grubs in cultivated fields. They also prey on small fish on the shore and pick up leftovers discarded on the shore and on boats. Some large gulls prey on the chicks of other birds, including their own species. Seagulls are the most common seabirds. At the seaside, harbors, and on fishing grounds rich in fish and shrimp, flocks of seagulls float on the water, swim, look for food, fly at low altitudes, and like to gather in sea areas where food is abundant.
In addition to eating fish, shrimp, crabs and shells, seagulls also like to pick up the leftovers discarded by people on ships, so seagulls are also nicknamed "harbor cleaners". They are almost a common sight around ports, docks, bays and ships. There will also be seagulls following the ship's route. Even walking on the beach at low tide will startle a group of seagulls. Seagulls are also "forecasters" of maritime navigation safety. When sailing on the sea, ships often run aground or run aground due to unfamiliarity with the water environment, or shipwrecks occur due to sudden changes in weather. Experienced sailors all know that seagulls often land around shoals, rocks or reefs and fly in groups and make noise. This is undoubtedly a signal to sailors to beware of hitting rocks; at the same time, they also have the habit of flying in and out of ports. Whenever When you are lost while sailing or there is heavy fog, observing the flight direction of seagulls can also be used as a basis for finding a port. In addition, if seagulls fly close to the sea, the weather will be fine in the future; if they linger along the seashore, the weather will gradually get worse.
If seagulls leave the water, fly high, and fly in groups from far away from the sea to the seaside, or if groups of seagulls gather on the beach or in the crevices of rocks, it indicates that a storm is coming. The reason why seagulls can foresee storms is because their bones are hollow tube-shaped, without marrow and filled with air. This is not only convenient for flying, but also much like a barometer, which can predict weather changes in time. In addition, the hollow quills on the wings of seagulls are like small barometers, which can sensitively sense changes in air pressure.
The seagull has a muscular body and is endearing. The feathers on its lower body are as white as snow. It was once envied by people and led to death. As early as the middle of the last century, ladies of the upper class in Europe and America loved to wear hats decorated with white feathers. For this reason, seagulls have become the target of predators, driving them to the brink of extinction. Fortunately, several female researchers at a biological institute in Boston, UK, promptly called for the protection of seagulls through newspapers and other publicity channels, and received strong support from many upper-class enlightened women. Later, an association to protect seagulls was established in Massachusetts, USA, which attracted worldwide attention. The attention of all countries has allowed the seagull "family" to regain its vitality year by year and continue to thrive.
Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem: "All birds gather in Rongke". Of course, seagulls also like to gather in sea areas where food is abundant. Therefore, wherever large flocks of seagulls are found, the waters must be teeming with life. Fish leap in the blue sea, and gulls fly in the blue sky, making the rich ocean full of vitality.
From May to June 2010, two seagulls were photographed in the UK with their heads pierced by darts. But surprisingly, the two seagulls were still alive and could still spread their wings and fly high. . Showing shocking "bird strength".
I really hope this heartbreaking scene will not happen again, and may those beautiful elves fly freely in the blue sky! Hope to never see "Bird Strong" again! 2. A 50-word essay describing seagulls

The seagull is the seabird most familiar to humans. It has extraordinary vision of various environments? Seagulls are generally divided into two subgroups based on their feather shape. One is a gull with a black head or a hooded head, which is smaller in size, and the color of its head changes in summer; the other is a gull with a white-gray head and body color, weighing 90 grams to 2 kilograms (their body shape, Size, head shape, mouth and legs are all important identifying features).
There are more than 50 species of seagulls, more than half of which breed in the Northern Hemisphere. Certain species of gulls have adapted to living in artificial environments, including the black or common gull. It spends a long time inland except during the breeding season.
On the contrary, the swallow-tailed gull has a smaller production area. The Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean are its residence during the breeding season. After autumn, it migrates to Cocoa and the west coast of South America to overwinter. Swallow-tailed gulls have a majestic appearance, bright feathers, and unique forked swallow tails. The most eye-catching thing is that it has a pair of large eyes with red rings. These eyes can move forward and have the same sense of distance as both eyes. Swallow-tailed gulls are nocturnal birds. Unlike other seagulls, they only lay one egg, and the chicks have gray-green feathers. It lives in the Galapagos Islands, where gray volcanic rocks are everywhere, and the gray feathers of its chicks are an excellent protective color.
Seagulls with black heads (seemingly wearing black hoods) are mostly northern hemisphere seabirds. The most common and widely distributed seagull in Europe is the little tern, which is only 20 centimeters long. Arctic terns are the record holders for long-distance flights in the world. They nest in the Arctic and migrate to Antarctic waters after breeding. Arctic terns are long-lived birds, with a lifespan of up to 25 years. In other words, Arctic terns can fly more than 1 million kilometers in their lifetime.
Hovering and flying is called gliding. Gliding is a special ability of some birds. They extend their wings flat in the air and use updrafts as power to support their own weight. Over some open land, we can see the majestic gliding of vultures, eagles and eagles; over the sea, in addition to seagulls, there are also albatrosses circling. Among all these birds, the seagull has the most outstanding gliding skills. Its flight speed when gliding is only 19 kilometers per hour, making it the slowest gliding bird. As long as there is a little updraft, it is enough to hold it up and prevent it from falling. down, and skillfully use the air current to glide slowly and leisurely. There are 31 species of gulls in my country, one of the common species is a large gull called herring gull. Herring gulls are widely distributed, from northern Northeast China in the north, to Sichuan in the west, and to Guangdong and Taiwan in the south. They can be seen in lakes and waters in these areas. Both sexes are of the same color, with dark gray back and wings; black wing tips; and pure white feathers in other parts.
Herring gulls are also called black-backed gulls, red-legged gulls, yellow-legged gulls, ospreys and fish-gripping gulls. It is a gregarious bird that often moves in dozens or hundreds together. It likes to follow passing ships and feed on abandoned objects in the ships. A bird enters the water to feed, and a flock of birds follows closely behind. From a distance, it looks like pieces of white petals are scattered into the water, slowly rippling with the water, which is very interesting. Herring gulls are a "living indicator" that a ship is about to dock. They are active near the coast, and the crew found seagulls, which means they are not far from the shore. Herring gulls mainly feed on animal foods, including fish, shrimps, starfish in the water and locusts, katydids and rats on land.
April to August every year is the breeding season for herring gulls. They nest in groups on the coast, islands, river banks, or on rocky beaches. The nest is very simple, made of seaweed, dead grass, twigs, feathers and other objects piled up into a shallow plate shape. 2-3 eggs are laid each time. The male and female take turns incubating the eggs, and after 24-28 days, the chicks hatch out. Herring gulls eat mice, such as yellow squirrels, squirrels, voles, etc.
According to records, there were 1,200 herring gulls living in one area, and 250,000 rodents were eliminated within 3 months. This shows its benefits to agriculture. 9. Quick abbreviation essay on the old man and the seagull
Anthropology The author Mr. Deng Qiyao wrote the article "The Lonely Owl Spirit", and the text "The Old Man and the Seagull" is adapted from the article "The Lonely Owl Spirit".
The Lonely Owl Spirit is selected from Notes on Visiting Spirits. The text tells a true story that happened by the Green Lake in Kunming. More than ten years ago, the old man encountered a group of red-billed gulls flying north to Kunming to spend the winter on the lakeside.
From then on, the old man and the seagull formed an indissoluble bond. Whenever winter comes, seagulls come to the bank of the green lake in droves. The old man also goes to the bank of the green lake to feed the seagulls every day, rain or shine, as if rushing for a date.
He regarded the seagulls as his children, gave them names, fed them biscuits, and took care of the sick and sick seagulls. Over time, the seagull and the old man formed a deep friendship.
However, one day, the old man passed away. The seagulls flew and circled in front of the old man's portrait, chirping repeatedly, and then stood still, like the "sons and daughters" keeping vigil for the old man, unable to bear to leave their relatives.
The Old Man and Seagulls by the Green Lake - Liang Yanshun There is a touching story circulating in Green Lake, a stone's throw away from Dianchi Lake. Since the 1980s, every winter morning, a lonely old man wanders by the busy Green Lake.
For more than 10 years, he scrimped on food and clothing, used his meager pension to feed seagulls who were like his children, and protected these little elves from passers-by. In 1995, when the eleventh winter came when these white elves from Siberia flew to Kunming, Old Seagull died of illness.
Behind him, the only valuable thing in the old man's house was a few eggs. The old man was reluctant to eat them and prepared steamed egg buns to feed the seagulls. "Camellia" magazine and the Yunnan "Human and Nature Foundation" published an obituary by the green lake where the old man often went, informing people and birds: "Old Seagull died of illness on December 20, 1995, at the age of 71. Retired worker from Kunming Chemical Plant... Although the old man has passed away, he still hopes that the seagulls will always fly. May the old man’s wishes be with the seagulls. ”
The obituary and the photo of the old man feeding seagulls for the last time are placed where he often went to feed the seagulls. In the seagull place, many people signed the old man's photo. People put the signed photo of the old man on the lawn and prepared to scatter food to represent the old man feeding the seagulls again.
I had just put away the old man’s portrait, but before I could scatter the food, something unexpected happened - a group of seagulls suddenly threw up the paper and flew around the old man’s portrait, chirping, shouting and flying. Different from usual, he seems to know something big happened. Ou Qun flapped his wings rapidly, and the Gui Dog Hanhua floated in the air in front of the old man's portrait, like a relative who came to pay homage to his remains.
The old man on the portrait is frozen in a most familiar movement. After a while, a group of white gulls landed one after another and stood neatly in two rows in front and behind the old man's portrait, standing still like white-winged angels guarding the old man's body.
This scene lasted for a while, and no one who saw it could imagine that it was just a coincidence. When people finally waited to put away the portrait, the seagulls rushed towards the portrait like a fried pot.
They screamed with their mouths wide open, and their wings fluttered so close that the person who took the photo subconsciously tightened his body, and finally got out of the flying white vortex. After that, Ou Qun hovered over the portrait for a long time, as if he was keeping a vigil for the old man, or seeing him off...
