A gull is a type of bird that belongs to the family Laridae. These birds are commonly found near coastal areas, lakes, and rivers. Gulls are known for their distinctive white and gray plumage, long wings, and sharp beaks, which they use to catch fish and scavenge for food. They are social creatures and often gather in large flocks, especially during feeding. Gulls are highly adaptable and can thrive in various environments, from urban areas to remote islands. They are also known for their loud calls and can be seen flying gracefully over water. Some common species include the Western Gull and the Ring-billed Gull.
