Observe the flight of seagulls, produces peace to our restless mind.
There are many species of gulls which the most representative is the gull black back and wings, with the rest of the body white.
Many will remember that movie by Alfred Hitchcock, The Birds, where a flock of seagulls attacking a coastal town, causing panic among residents.
In general, the seagulls are friendly beings, do not take into account human.
They are omnivorous, ie feed on almost any moderately edible thing, but prefer fish and crabs.
Then a poem by Herbert Bashford:
The Seagull
A ceaseless rover, waif of many climes,
He scorns the tempest, greets the lifting sun
With wings that fling the light and sinks at times
To ride in triumph where the tall waves run.
The rocks tide-worn, the high cliff brown and bare
And crags of bleak, strange shores he rests upon;
He floats above, a moment hangs in air
Clean-etched against the broad, gold breast of dawn.
Bold hunter of the deep! Of thy swift flights
What of them all brings keenest joy to thee—
To drive sharp pinions through storm-beaten nights,
Or shriek amid black hollows of the sea?
