- Sea Gulls and Seafood Plants.
- Sea gulls naturally carry illness-causing bacteria Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. Keeping sea gulls away from seafood plants helps prevent seafood contamination by these bacteria.
- Fishing vessel unloading operations and seafood plant waste disposal equipment often attract sea gulls. Around seafood plants, gulls contaminate the environment with feces. ...
- Sea gulls are a persistent problem at landfills, fish hatcheries, outdoor restaurants, and other coastal areas. Attempts to exclude gulls by scaring them are not very productive. ...
- Networks of overhead wires keep sea gulls away from buildings and nearby areas. ...
- Disadvantages include deterioration from exposure to sunlight and possible breakage if gulls fly into the lines. ...
- Researchers testing wire networks cannot explain why gulls are unwilling to fly through wires or lines. Wires appear to startle gulls and may disturb their landing pattern. The few gulls that enter a protected area do so by walking into the area.
- Overhead wire systems will also keep sea gulls from gathering near seafood plants in San Pedro and San Francisco. ... Stringing lines about 1 foot out from roof edges prevents gulls from landing on roof edges. ...

- Gulls on Skokholm.
- The main nesting colony of Lesser Black-backed Gulls is on the plateau area around South Pond in the centre of the island, with other smaller colonies around, but almost invariably on the central part of the island. ...
- Herring Gulls nest in much smaller numbers than the Lesser Black-backs and tend to nest around the edges of the island, along the cliff tops and in the bays. ... The advent of black plastic sacks for the disposal of rubbish provided a perfect situation for the proliferation of botulism to which Herring Gulls often succumb.
- There are a small number of apparent hybrid Lesser Black-backed x Herring Gulls within the breeding population, presumably as a result of the cross-fostering experiments conducted on the island in the mid 1960's.
- Great Black-backed Gulls nest in small numbers on cliff edges and rocky outcrops. ...
- Great Black-backed Gulls predate on the Manx Shearwaters and any which are a little late in leaving the island at first light are liable to fall prey to gulls. ...

- The Small Gulls of North America. ...
- The Small Gulls of North America contains nearly three hours of footage, gathered from all over the world. ... The addition of vocalizations is an obvious benefit of video compared to still photos, and it is a delight to hear the distinctive calls of Little Gulls, which I imagine might stand out from the harsher calls of Bonaparte's Gull in a mixed flock.

- South American, Southern African, Oriental and Australasian Gulls.
- In general most of them are of the same types that can be found on the northern part of the globe: a few large black-backed gulls, very similar to their northern equivalents and species with different shades of grey plumages, black heads and hoods. ... Nevertheless: some species are rather peculiar and unlike any of the northern gulls, such as the Pacific Gull with its huge bill and the equally large, but fairy like Swallow-tailed Gull and the dark Lava Gull from the Galapagos.
- Southern gulls do not migrate to the North in the southern winter as extensively as their northern antipodes.

8. College of the Atlantic : Island Research Center
- www.coa.edu
- Gull populations in Maine expanded at the expense of terns, eiders, alcids, and other colonial nesting seabirds because gulls feed on the eggs and chicks of these species (Drury 1965, Nisbet 1973, 1975). ... Today the non-lethal techniques are effective on a small scale, but they do not completely rid restoration sites of gulls. These methods may be enhanced if the gulls' primary food source was removed. ...
- Today, 30 years since Hunt's study, the dumps, farms, and plants have closed, leaving bait as the remaining food subsidy for gulls. Gulls may now depend more heavily on lobsterbait than they did in the past. ...
- During the summers of 1999 and 2000 for my masters at College of the Atlantic, I tested if bait is a significant food subsidy to Herring Gulls during the breeding season in Penobscot Bay, Maine. I collected diet samples to determine the percentage of bait consumed by Herring Gull chicks, I collected data from lobsterboats to determine how much bait was available to the birds, and I marked breeding adult gulls with a rhodamine red b dye to document how far the birds flew to consume lobsterbait. ...
- I found that 73% (n = 26) of lobstermen studied in Penobscot Bay discarded approximately 14% full (n = 911) bait bags overboard, of which gulls recovered approximately 45% (n = 49). Data from marked gulls indicated that 81% of the gulls flew 0 - 9km to forage at lobsterboats, although some flew as far as 18km. ...
- But one major factor appears to support the gulls: food supplied by humans. Around the world gull populations have increased as the gulls were provided with greater amounts of food. ... Therefore, gulls in Maine may be controlled by reducing lobsterbait discards through a collaborative effort with lobstermen.

10. February 2005 - Gulls in Ohio
- www.dnr.state.oh.us
- Ohio is a great place to “see” gulls.
- For those of us who call Ohio home, it’s obvious that not all gulls live by the sea. But would you believe that the Buckeye State is considered to be one of the very best places on the planet to “see” gulls? It’s true, and winter offers an excellent opportunity for viewing a large variety of gulls, as thousands flock together on the open waters of Lake Erie and along its shore. While gulls can be found throughout Ohio, 19 of the world’s 51 gull species have been recorded on our great lake. ...
- Two terms frequently used to describe gulls are “opportunistic” and “adaptable. ” The opportunistic label fits because most gulls will eat just about anything, including natural fare such as fish, other birds, amphibians, rodents, insects and carrion as well as any tasty treats that get tossed into fast-food dumpsters. ...
- Gulls are distinguished by their round, aerodynamic heads, slightly hooked beaks and squared or rounded tails. ... The first two to four years of their lives, young gulls have brownish-gray mottled feathers before achieving adult plumage. ...
- The most often seem far inland are Ring-billed gulls. ...
- Herring gulls also take advantage of easy fast-food meals, but are not prone to straying very far from Lake Erie.
- And, since gulls are very sociable, it’s likely that there will be a few oddball species in these large flocks, such as a Thayer’s, Iceland or Lesser black-backed gull.
- One of the best tips I received during the recent gull symposium was to learn which gulls are common to the area and at what time of year. ...
- One of the great things about viewing Ohio’s gulls is that you won’t have to hike very far from the car to reach their natural habitat. ...
- Because of their flexible diets, gulls help tidy up Ohio’s outdoors by consuming dead animals and other organic matter. ...
- It is not unusual for gulls to take live prey, such as Starlings, in mid-air. ...
- Gulls are long-lived, some with a lifespan of nearly 30 years. ...

- Three different adult argentatus Herring Gulls with "thayerish" primary patterns from the Hardangerfjord in western Norway are new today. ...
- Feature - Yellow-legged Herring Gulls.
- A few yellow-legged Herring Gulls turn up every year in Norway. They differ from Yellow-legged Gulls in having more white and less black in the primaries, usually less intense yellow feet-color, paler mantle and scapulars, dark-streaked head in winter plumage and other head and bill proportions. ... These yellow-legged Herring Gulls do also show red or reddish orbital rings more often than the normal ones. Such Herring Gulls are referred to as "omissus", despite being the argentatus subspecies.
