A report on seagulls


I am learning about seagulls.

The seagull can swim.  It can swim really fast  because it has webbed feet.  When it goes in water it swishes its webbed feet and moves forward.   

So the seagull can swim but it can also go underwater for about one minute or if it is just learning it can do it for thirty seconds.

A seagull cannot do anything without its wings. It can fly  1,000 km a day. It uses these to get to its nests. To get food for their babies and for themselves it also uses its wings.  

The beaks are sharp and can cut you.  When they get food they hold it with their  feet and tears it with its beak.  


As you can see here it has a good view of all the body parts that we were talking about.
Notice the sharp beak and the large wing span.
