I live in the US (Florida) and came across your website when I was searching for information about seagull behavior. I saw the most amazing thing yesterday. We have a pond in our neighborhood where there are many Laughing Gulls. I was feeding them bread so that I could get them close enough to photograph. There was one pair that I was watching because one of them had an injured leg. They were both adults. One of them ate a piece of bread. The other one was acting like a hungry chick who wanted something to eat. But is wasn’t a chick. The unhurt bird who had eaten the bread regurgitated the bread and actually fed it to the other adult bird. Have you ever seen anything like that? I am thinking that maybe they are a pair and one takes care of the other? If you are interested I can send a photo. I love watching and photographing all birds. Their behavior is fascinating!ReplyCancel
