“Why are they called seagulls when they don’t live near the sea?”
Seagull on the beach.
Here is what the seagulls had to say:
A great many do live by the sea. That is our natural habitat. Some have migrated inland and found more comfortable living conditions. They have abandoned their true nature and turned into scavengers. They are not considered sea gulls by others of our species. They have traded an easy lifestyle for life as it was intended. In doing so they sacrifice some of their majesty and dignity. Successive generations have been born inland and these offspring do not have any inkling of the life they were intended to live. It is evolution resulting from their choices, but it is not necessarily a desirable outcome. So we would say that those who have moved inland and abandoned their natural habitat are not really seagulls anymore. We would simply call them gulls.
So there you have it from the seagull’s perspective and said with more than a little disdain. Please keep the questions coming!
Happy Holidays one and all.
