TIDBITS® LOOKS AT

SEAGULLSby Janet Spencer

On October 1, 1919, the Mormon church of Salt Lake City unveiled a monument to a bird. Mormon settlers were tending their ripening crops in 1848 when a plague of crickets descended, threatening to ruin the harvest. Fortunately, flocks of seagulls arrived, eating all the crickets. The Seagull Monument, designed by Brigham Young’s grandson, is thought to be the world’s only monument to a bird. The seagull is now the state bird of Utah. Come along with Tidbits as we go birdwatching!

SEAGULL FACTS• The term “gull” refers to a group of 23 North

American species belonging to the family Laridae, which comes from the Greek word meaning “ravenous sea bird.”

• Seagulls usually mate for life, but researchers say they do get “divorced” sometimes. Their divorce rate is about 3 to 5% a year.

• A seagull’s feet stay at only 32°f. while the rest of the body’s temperature is 100°f.

• When gulls get mad, they yank grass up by the roots to displace their aggression.

• The herring gull has 63 different calls.

• Gulls can live for up to 32 years.

SEAGULLS (cont’d)• Seagulls have been seen stamping their

feet in unison to imitate rainfall to trick earthworms to come to the surface.

• Gulls are able to drink both fresh and salt water. Most animals are unable to do this, but gulls have a pair of glands above their eyes designed to flush the salt from their systems through openings in the bill. This makes it possible for them to spend days at sea without returning to land for fresh water. Given a choice, seagulls prefer fresh water over salt water because processing the salt is an energy-intensive process.

• Adults of many gull species have prominent spots on their bill that serve as visual cues to youngsters. In order to induce adults to regurgitate food, nestlings peck this spot.

• They have a small claw halfway up their lower leg that makes it easy for them to sit on high ledges without getting blown off.

• Gulls nearly went extinct on the East Coast when they were hunted for their feathers.

• Many species of gulls are ‘klepto-parisitic’ meaning that they steal their food from other birds to feed themselves, often using simple intimidation tactics which cause other birds to abandon their meal.

• Seagulls have excellent vision, even better than human’s. They are one of the few birds with eyes that can move in their sockets.

• Gulls often drop clams or other hard-shelled mollusks onto hard rock surfaces to break them open. Researchers found that gulls instinctively know the exact height required to drop a clam so it breaks open. Otherwise, they are wasting energy.

• The most common seagull species is the ring-billed gull, one of the most abundant species across North America. The population is estimated at 3-4 million.

SEAGULL FACTS• In a gull colony, when one gull sounds the

alarm, the entire flock will take to the safety of the skies. However, some gulls are more skittish than others and frequently sound the alarm when it’s not necessary. Observers report that the alarm calls of the jitteriest gulls are routinely ignored by the rest of the colony, just like the boy who cried wolf.

• One ornithologist noted that gulls can be cannibalistic at times, feeding not only on

the young of other species of gull, but also occasionally eating their own offspring. The researcher further noted that cannibalism inevitably increased every single Sunday. Why? Because one of their main food sources came from following fishing trawlers on the ocean. None of the trawlers went out on Sundays because they were all at church.

• A scientist who was capturing and banding gulls was frequently bombarded by angry mobs of the birds who resented the intrusion. Other people could walk through the colony without arousing any attention from the birds, but whenever he set foot near them, they would gang up on him. He tried disguising himself by wearing different clothing and wigs, but they always recognized him. Finally he donned a mask, and the problem was solved. He concluded they recognized him by his facial features.

• Almost half of the bird/plane collisions in the U.S. are due to gulls. Eisenhower was aboard Air Force One when it lost an engine due to a gull being sucked into the engine.

• Orca whales at the Vancouver Aquarium learned that they could train seagulls to come take bits of fish out of their mouths.

• Seagulls in Cambridge, Maryland, habitually bombed cars with oyster shells after a parking lot was built over their nesting ground.

SEAGULL FACTS & FASCINATION• A company golf driving range was opened

for employees of Smith and Wesson in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1984. It had to close in short order when flocks of seagulls mistook the white golf balls for edible clams. The gulls picked up the balls and dropped them from heights, bombarding executives, motorists, and innocent bystanders with falling golf balls.

• When an estimated 7,000 seagulls took up residence at the Monmouth County landfill in New Jersey, officials decided to drive them away by using trained falcons to hunt them. The entire flock of seagulls subsequently vacated the landfill, and moved into a local neighborhood. They roosted on rooftops and bombarded the vicinity with poop, often

Famous Canadians

BRIDGET STUTCHBURY• Bridget Stutchbury is one of Canada’s foremost

ornithologists. She was born in Montreal and raised in Toronto. She is now professor of biology at York University and is affiliated with numerous organizations that seek to preserve bird habitats.

• Sutchbury gained a lot of notice after her groundbreaking research into the sexual antics of birds made international headlines. But she is perhaps best known for her book The Silence of the Songbirds.

• Many species of migratory songbirds are disappearing at an alarming rate. Surveys in Canada shows that between 1966 and 2007, Canada warblers declined by 2.6% a year and olive-sided flycatchers declined by 3.7% a year. This amounts to a cumulative loss of 50 and 75%, respectively, in a single lifetime.

• One of the main problems for migratory songbirds is that they may travel 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or more between their summer

habitat and southern climates. In between, they need places to stop to rest and feed. Due to steadily declining levels of forested cover, it becomes increasingly difficult for birds to find the sanctuary they need.

• Stutchbury explains that the boreal forest is home to 3 billion migratory songbirds and 25% of the world’s intact forests. Almost 1 million hectares are cut each year. Less than 15% of Canada’s boreal forest has been protected and nearly a third has been allocated for logging, mining and development. Clear-cutting forces birds to move elsewhere.

• A study comparing the birds of Pukaskwa National Park in Ontario with surrounding logged landscape found the population of ovenbirds and warblers was 50% to 90% lower outside the park.

• At the other end, Latin American countries clear cut about 4 million hectares of tropical forest annually. More rainforest has been cleared since 1950 than during the entire 200 years previous. On the northwestern corner of South America, where many boreal songbirds

BRIDGET STUTCHBURY (cont’d)overwinter, forest loss stands at 70% or more.• Stutchbury maintains that a primary cause of

the deforestation of Latin America is coffee. North Americans drink some 300 million cups a day and import over 3.3 billion pounds (1.5 billion kg) of beans each year. To meet demand, shade trees in coffee plantations have been cut down to make way for “sun coffee” which turns a quicker profit than coffee grown in the shade. Most commercial coffee farms resemble a cornfield rather than a forest, and farmers cannot grow sun coffee without heavy chemical inputs of fertilizers and pesticides. Only a few migratory songbird species can endure these conditions.

• A shade-coffee plantation is a lifeboat for migratory songbirds because it provides a mini-ecosystem with towering tropical trees that shelter the coffee plants below, fertilize the soil, and prevent soil erosion during heavy downpours. Shade coffee farms provide

alternative habitat for plants and animals which normally live in tropical forests.

• “In the swirling steam that rises from your coffee cup could be the ghosts of warblers flitting among the orchids, orioles sipping nectar from spectacular bouquets in the treetops, and thrushes flipping up leaves on the forest floor,” says Stutchbury. She encourages all bird lovers to drink only shade-grown organic fair-trade coffee to give birds a fighting chance in southern regions, and to fight for conservation rights in northern areas so all bird species will always have a place to come home to.

SEAGULL FACTS & FASCINATIONhitting pedestrians. The falcons were removed

from the landfill after officials decided it was best to have 7,000 seagulls pooping in a landfill than pooping in a subdivision.

• The smallest gull species in most of North America is called the Bonaparte’s gull, named after Charles Lucien Bonaparte, a nephew of Napoleon, who was a leading ornithologist in the 1800s. This is only one of a very few species of gull that prefers to nest in trees.

• The lava gull has adapted to volcanic islands and is black from bill to wingtip. The swallow-tailed gull, native to the Galapagos Islands, is actually nocturnal—which is far from the norm. This bird often specializes in hunting squid, swooping down in the moonlight to capture its prey.

• The California gull has a unique way of catching alkali flies which congregate in dense clusters along the shores of salty lakes in the Great Basin. It starts at one end of a huge raft of flies sitting on the beach and runs through the flies with its head down and bill open, snapping up flies.

In a test at the University of Texas, rats were fed one food only in an effort to find out which are the best foods, and which are the worst. Two-thirds of the rats who were fed only white bread died after 90 days. Rats fared little better when fed only peanuts, hot dogs, hamburger, shredded wheat, or macaroni. They lived somewhat longer on tuna or milk. The best single food was egg. Rats eating only eggs lived indefinitely.

A guy walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says, “Hey doctor, my brother’s crazy! He thinks he’s a chicken!” The doctor says, “Why don’t you bring him in for treatment?” The guy replies, “I would, but I need the eggs!”

King George II once stopped at an inn where he was served an egg. The innkeeper charged an exorbitant price for the egg. The king commented, “Eggs must be very scarce around here.” The innkeeper replied, “No sire, it is kings that are scarce.”

Canadian Tid-bitsGoing Green ... With Cat Litter

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat’s current litter works fine, but I am reading some worrying things about the ingredients and how they might harm him. Plus there’s the environmental impact. Is there a good “green” cat litter available? -- Suzy G.

DEAR SUZY: You’re not alone in your concern about litter and the health of your cat. According to a report in Scientific American a couple of years ago, many litter products contain silica dust -- which can cause respiratory problems in cats. “Clumping” type litters may use a sodium bentonite clay, which swells up as it absorbs liquid -- however, it may cause gastrointestinal problems if ingested by cats, such as when they lick their paws to clean them after using the litter box.There are also issues around how certain clays are mined, and the size of the “carbon footprint” surrounding production of cat litter, including how far a product travels to reach store shelves.Sure is a lot to consider when you’re just trying to find a better place for your cat to pee. In response to consumer concerns, there are a few “green” litter products on store shelves. Look for a product like Yesterday’s News, litter made from recycled paper; SchweatScoop Natural Wheat Litter; World’s Best or Benovo, made from corn; or even litter made from wood shavings and sawdust.If you’re feeling adventurous, look into creating litter yourself from old newspaper.But don’t jump fully into “green” litter without consulting your cat: Test out a new product for a few days to see if your cat will use it. If it doesn’t adapt to one, try another.

• “Wax drippings from candles can be scraped off of most hard surfaces with the side of a credit card.”

• To prevent garbage cans from filling with water during rainstorms, drill several holes in the bottom, near the sides. This also will help bags to come out of the can easier.

• “Use fluoride toothpaste on a facial blemish for overnight relief. Just dab a tiny bit of your regular toothpaste on a pimple, and cover with a bandage. It should relieve redness and swelling. If you have very sensitive skin, don’t try this trick, as it can make it worse.”

• If you have wood floors, you might already know about felt furniture pads -- the little self-stick felt circles you put on furniture legs to reduce scratches on your floors. You might not know that these same pads can reduce scuff marks that appliances make on countertops. It also makes it easier to scoot around a heavy mixer or other appliance.

• “Here’s a great tip if you need to pack up something fragile: Use a shredder to shred sheets of newspaper. It works far better than just wrapping in paper, and it costs much less than packing peanuts. Also, you can reuse these shredded newspaper pieces in the garden, or put them in your compost pile.” -- R.C. in Minnesota

• “If you’re looking to save money, don’t ignore the dollar store. You can find a lot of personal-care and home-care items there for, well, a dollar. I save quite a bit of money this way.”

▶ Canada’s very first ATM was installed in Sherwood Credit Union, Regina, SK, in 1977.

▶ Actor Leslie Nielsen’s brother Erik was the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada for two years, from 1984 to 1986. He was also an MP for 30 years prior to that.

▶ Canada holds the record for the most gold medals ever won at the Winter Olympics, since taking 14 Golds at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

▶ Sandy Gardiner, a journalist with the Ottawa Journal in the 60’s coined the term ‘Beatlemania’ while he was writing a story about the Beatles.

▶ Canada basically got its name by mistake. When Jaques Cartier, a French explorer, came to the new world, he met with local Natives who invited them to their ‘kanata’ (the word for ‘village’. The party mistakenly thought the name of the country was “Kanata” or Canada.

▶ It was French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte who made the following sage observation: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

▶ Given the notoriety Las Vegas enjoys as a place for quick weddings, you might be surprised to learn that, technically, it is illegal in that city for a mustachioed man to kiss a woman.

▶ In 1923, a man named Frank Hayes earned the distinction of becoming the first (and so far only) person to win a horse race posthumously. Hayes was actually a trainer rather than a jockey, and he was riding a 20-1 underdog named Sweet Kiss. It seems that Hayes suffered a heart attack in the midst of the race, but his body stayed in the saddle while Sweet Kiss beat the odds to cross the finish line first. For the rest of her life, the horse he rode was nicknamed “Sweet Kiss of Death.”

▶ In his spare time, Jim Cummings, a successful voice actor, calls sick children in hospital wards and talks to them as some of his most famous characters, including Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

▶ Some state names have come to the English language through roundabout routes. Take Alaska, for example. The state name comes from the Aleut word “alaxsxaq,” which in turn comes from the Russian meaning “the object toward which the action of the sea is directed.”

▶ Those who study such things say that even fish can have distinct personalities. Within a single species, scientists have observed that some fish are quite adventurous, willing to go to great lengths to obtain food or a mate, while others are much more timid, eschewing daring feats altogether.
