Well, there aren't any actual "seagulls". There are different types of gulls. And some seem more intelligent than others.

How can seagulls be real if our eyes are not real?

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Well, birds aren't real... So, it negates the whole seagull debate anyway.

Are you telling me if I live by the sea, these gulls I see are not seagulls?

We have seagulls in my inland city, they breed on an island in our lake. I think the name for our seagulls are silver gulls, famous from the film finding Nemo

Sometimes they live in bays, then they're called bagels.

Technically, correct. They are different types of gulls.

Most popular type is the: Herring Gull.
