The term "gull" refers to a type of seabird that belongs to the family Laridae, which also includes other well-known birds such as terns and skimmers. Gulls are typically medium to large sized birds with long wings, webbed feet, and sharp beaks. They are found all over the world, particularly in coastal regions where they feed on a variety of food sources including fish, insects, small mammals, and even human-provided garbage. Gulls have also adapted to living in urban environments, often seen scavenging for food around cities or nesting on rooftops. The term "gull" can also be used as a verb meaning to deceive or manipulate someone into doing something through flattery or trickery.
