Can you hear the cries of the seagulls? Can you smell the sea?
Seagull cries are a complex language of squawks, keows, mews, and wails, signaling everything from hunger (whining chicks) and excitement (finding food,’ha-ha-ha’ calls) to aggression (piercing ‘keow’ towards threats) and territory defense, with specific calls like the ‘long call’ serving as warnings or challenges, all part of their diverse communication for survival, mating, and feeding.
