Do Seagulls Dive into Water?
Ben Sharvy
Do seaguls 1) actually dive into water, like pelicans, and 2) swim in
pursuit of prey?

They sure dive, but "into water" is another question. I suppose their
displacement is to great to swim, or even to penetrate the water to any
depth. Their dive results in a major splash.
What seems ludecrous to me is their repeated dropping of
shellfish in the water! What works on rocks or driveways seems to be
attempted on water, to no avail. They do succeed in retreiving the
dropped shellfish multiple times, however.

There is no species of gull that is called a "seagul". The guls I am
familiar with stay on the surface of the water. Actually, they seem to
cluster around McDonalds.

Ben,
Gulls do not dive into water and swim under water. By the
way, there are all types of gulls, but no seagulls.

However it is a very wise donkey that is not afraid to ask a question!

I'll have to tell the Herring Gulls out front that they don't dive into
the water. Right after I tell the bumble bees they can't fly!

Could this thread have started because someone confused a "seagull"
with a gannet?
Just wondering.

I have seen a seagull fly in loops like an airplane though (No his name
was not Jonathan)
