The Difference Between Robins and Seagulls

It’s winter, so I’m sorting through photos more than taking them. While doing that I noticed two photos that illustrate a behavior comparison of two bird species for me.

Robins and seagulls normally wouldn’t even be put in the same sentence. They enjoy different habitats. They don’t look anything alike or eat the same stuff. Both robins and seagulls fly, but that’s about it.

Robins are fun to have around. They are harbingers of spring, and seem to flit about cheerfully. Sometimes they even make a nest where we can see the babies get started.

Um-m…..

They……




Well, they had prominent roles in the movie “Finding Nemo”. They said, “Mine! Mine! Mine!” a lot.


So this is what I think kind of sums up the difference between the two birds:
