Seagulls are birds seen occasionally in the DreamWorks Dragons Franchise.
Description[]
Seagulls, also simply called Gulls, are marine birds belonging to the Family Laridae. They are often a combination of grey and white with some black, depending on the species. Seagulls are found worldwide, even in Antarctica. Most live in coastal areas, but some species will move inland. They also migrate great distances. Gulls are very opportunistic feeders and can eat many things other than the typical fish. They even frequent landfills.
Function[]
In the Franchise, Seagulls don't have a function, except, perhaps, as a nuisance.
In reality, this holds as well. However, historic Vikings were known to eat a variety of sea birds and their eggs, which may have included seagulls.
