Seagulls don’t exist. There’s no such critter.

Well yes, they're just gulls. Even as a colloquial term, 'seagulls' would only make sense if there were such things as land gulls.

They’re not even “just gulls”. The ones people call seagulls are usually Herring gulls, though lesser black backed gulls, great black backed gulls, common gulls and, er, some other ones also knock about these parts. Perhaps a topic for the boring thread, though.

They are all f***ing chip stealers, It is thought that even these creatures don't like gravy on fish though :D

We have a kids' book that has a picture of a gull swooping down and snatching a full ice cream cone out of someone's hand. I thought that was an exaggeration, but it literally happened to a friend of mine recently.
