Five facts about seagulls
- Seagulls are monogamous and colonial breeders that display mate fidelity that usually lasts for the life of the pair. Most gulls breed once a year and have predictable breeding seasons from three to five months.
- Seagulls display high levels of site fidelity, returning to the same colony after breeding there once and even usually breeding in the same location within that colony.
- Nest building is a part of pair-bonding. Gull nests are usually mats of herbaceous matter with a central nest cup.
- Seagulls defend their territories from rivals of both sexes through calls and aerial attacks.
- The eggs of gulls are usually dark tan to brown or dark olive with dark splotches and scrawl markings, and are well camouflaged.
