How Gulls Build Their Nests

Hey there, little explorer! Today, we are going to learn about gulls and how they make their cozy homes called nests.

What are Gulls?

Gulls are birds that you can often see at the beach. They are usually white with gray wings and can sometimes be a little noisy!

Where Do Gulls Build Their Nests?

Gulls like to build their nests in places where they can see a lot around them, like on cliffs, rooftops, or even sandy areas. They want to keep their babies safe!

What Do Gulls Use to Build Nests?

Gulls are really clever and use lots of different things to build their nests. Here are some materials they might use:

• Grass: Sometimes gulls pick up long pieces of grass to make the bottom of their nests soft.
• Sticks: They can use small sticks or twigs to create a strong base for their nests.
• Seaweed: If they live near the ocean, they might find some seaweed to add a nice touch!
• Plastic and Trash: Sadly, gulls can sometimes use plastic bits or other trash they find, thinking it could be useful.

Why Do They Build Nests?

Gulls build nests to have a safe place for their eggs. After the eggs hatch, the baby gulls, called chicks, have a warm and cozy place to grow!

Conclusion

So, next time you see gulls at the beach or in your neighborhood, you can think about all the hard work they put into building their nests. They use many different materials to keep their families safe and sound!
