The Herring Gull is a large bird commonly found along coastlines and inland areas in Europe and North America. It has a distinctive gray and white plumage, with a yellow bill that features a red spot. These gulls are known for their loud calls and scavenging behavior, often seen foraging for food near beaches, docks, and landfills.
Herring Gulls are social birds, often nesting in colonies on cliffs or rooftops. They primarily feed on fish, crustaceans, and discarded human food. Their adaptability to various environments has made them a familiar sight in many urban and rural areas.
