Gullible

One certainly shouldn't call Herring gulls 'seagulls'. Gulls are not restricted to the sea. These birds are opportunistic scavengers, just as much at home on an inland landfill site as in a fishing harbour. Reports in newspapers about ‘gull muggings’ in locations like Scarborough (Yorkshire), are basically misinterpretations. Gulls have no concept of ownership. Food items are there to be competed for. They are not stealing your chip or pastie. They are just getting their beaks on it first.
