The gulls are white and gray birds. They are present all year round. During the summer, the gulls are not seen in great numbers near the village because they have lots to eat. They also nest on the islands. When winter comes, however, they stick around the village because they do not have much to eat. They wait for scraps of food whenever someone empties his garbage.

The gulls nest on islands without foxes during the summer. Their eggs are gathered for food at certain times of the year. They are good-sized eggs. They are olive with black spots all over them.

The gull nest is made from grass and moss. They usually have three eggs. It is best to gather the eggs after the first few days of being laid, or else they will be incubated.

The gulls are not choosy eaters. They eat meat and whatever they can find to eat. The young gull is called chyaali{. It is gray in color. The mature gull, on the other hand, is whitish and looks like it has been washed clean.
