Gulls, nicknamed gabians on the Provençal coast, are coastal birds that rarely venture on the high seas.
There are many varieties, including the leucophée gull common on the coast of the Côte d'Azur.
Young gulls are called grisards .
They are omnivorous birds;
the gull's beak has a red spot at its tip: the chicks use it as a target to claim their beaks.
