Herring Gull

The Herring Gull is a very unique bird in its own. From its unique way of living and shape of the bird it is. The males and females even though being very similar have a very slight difference and that's there size differential. It would be kind of hard to notice to a naked eye. We see the herring gull a lot most preferably when we go to the shore. The bird is not a shy or a scary bird they are willing to take even though it may be humans around. They often are found stealing food from humans or even from other birds. They eat mussels, crabs, sea urchins, squid, fish, insects and of course eat human food. As being a scavenger bird they eat whatever including there own babies and eggs. They breed once a year from April to June laying up to 3 eggs per season. The Herring Gull is a very successful bird and is a least concern on the list.
