Habitat
The Silver Gull is found at any watered habitat and is rarely seen far from land. They have become well adapted to urban environments but still rely on watered habitats for breeding.
Other Information
Since the 1950s the Silver Gull population has skyrocketed. This is thought to be because of the available food that they are able to regularly scavenge. This has become an issue for other breeding species that are now having their breeding areas over run by Silver Gulls.
