My cousins have obviously been keeping this to themselves! As a matter of fact us gulls eat a really wide range of foods. Plant materials include seeds, leaves, fruit and seaweed. Animals on the menu are shellfish, worms, millipedes, nymphs, grasshoppers, water bugs, beetles, flies, caterpillars, ants, shrimps, scorpions, and spiders. We also eat eggs and chicks of other birds. So we never go short of a feed. I reckon that's how there got to be so many of us. Great to hear from you Jess!

Not surprising really... it's generally the species of interest to the commercial or recreational fishos that attract serious study. But things changed in the 1960s with the Environmental Study of the Port Phillip Bay 1968-1971... over 370 pages of scientific data and analysis, physical, chemical and biological characteristics, and species lists. But would you believe it... no mention of dolphins! STAN SAYS TO IAN: I’ve asked all my cousins about this and none know of any historic studies of dolphins.
