We do know that seagulls are very smart and clever.

Gulls did not used to live in towns.
Lots of gulls live inland nowadays where landfill and litter provide rich pickings. It turns out the seagulls are like a barometer. And when they turn up, we can guarantee there WILL be bad weather within the week. Well. Seagulls prefer to sleep on a calm body of water, but will sleep in any wide-open spot. The black headed gull in particular is far more prevalent inland than on the coast.
I have seen gulls standing in a field stomping their feet in order to bring the worms to the surface. seagulls actually thrive on our trash, and when they find a place where there's plenty of trash, food it their case, they stay put, make nests and lay eggs in those areas. They gather in places that have an abundance of food or trash, areas like fast food and mall parking lots and garbage dumpsters. Why do sea gulls like suburban mall parking lots so much, even when they are nowhere near the ocean? Why do seagulls live by the sea? Very adaptable for both diet and living sites.
Ornithologists (scientists who study birds) prefer to call them "gulls" in order to avoid this common confusion.
Seagulls have adapted to the urban environment, but are posing an increasing threat to people and property. Seagulls seen scavenging during the day in picnic areas, parking lots and dump sites typically retire to a large body of freshwater to roost on or near at night. There are a couple hundred seagulls pooping all over the Walmart parking lot in my TN town. Lv 6. We also have lots of people who feel sorry for "the poor birds" and feed them in parking lots.
How on earth do the seagulls do it? The live near any body of water, including inland lakes and ponds. A. That takes both intelligence and the ability to communicate to accomplish. Seagulls traditionally ate fish, directly from the sea or ocean.
0 0 0. The answer is that "seagulls" do not always have to live by the sea. Best Answers. The birds that ornithologists call gulls, not sea gulls, do not strictly live … seagulls fly inland from coastal areas in search of food. I have seen gulls by the thousands on the prairies.
EVEN sometimes when the weather forecast says there won’t!
0 0. Tennessee has lots of those. They turn up en masse 4 or 5 days in ADVANCE. Source: quora.com.
BUT the seagulls DON’T turn up when the weather gets bad. Seagulls don't just inhabit the sea.
