How has a herring gull adapted to its habitats?

Herring gulls have adapted to their habitats through their versatile diet, which allows them to thrive in diverse environments, from coastal areas to urban settings. They exhibit opportunistic feeding behaviors, scavenging on human waste and taking advantage of available food sources. Their strong, agile flight enables them to cover large distances in search of food, while their social behavior, including nesting in colonies, helps them protect their young from predators. Additionally, their distinctive vocalizations and behaviors facilitate communication within their groups.
