Edit:
Together they can make the combined-arms-gulls.
Don’t forget THA GOOD SHIP MERRY GULL!
Most of what we consider “seagulls” dont actually go out to sea. It’s all lies.
The seagull is the state bird of Utah. About 400 miles from the nearest ocean.
So they are lakegulls then.
They’re seaadjacentgulls.
I’ve seen many seagulls in my life.
But I’ve never seen any of the others.
And that’s terrifying. Stay vigilant.
Wrong.
Seagulls imply the existence of Rivergulls, Lakegulls, Mountiangulls, Desertgulls, Forestgulls, Plaingulls, Valleygulls, Hillgulls, etc.
Archipelagulls
Bay-gull. Bagel.
Bay-hull; loves explosions.
I think a “landgull” would just be a pigeon
Nah, that’s an airgull. A landgull would be a chicken.
Nah, that’s a farmgull. A landfill would be an ostrich
No that’s where garbage goes, landgull would be a peacock
No, that’d be a fancygull. A landgull would be a rat.
No that would be a politigul. A landgull would be a gopher.
No, that’s a dirtgull. A landgull would be a kangaroo.
In light of the above, then, I hereby propose that squirrels get renamed to “treegulls.”
It’s all fun and games until the firegull nation attacks.
My brother and I discovered the new Gulliver…
Don’t forget bay-gulls. They love fish, especially smoked salmon
Reminds me of a John Hodgman bit - we have ice hockey, field hockey, and air hockey, implying the existence of fire hockey.
If there are armadillos, where are the legadillos?
Given how much cuter a goldfish is than a silverfish, whatever a bronzefish is must be a absolutely disgusting.
Stands to reason, yes. Maybe also navyadillos and airforcadillos.
And what about the Dillos who don’t want to be armed?
unarmadillos?
also, spacegulls

Attention Bajoran workers…
thank you.
I used to study animal management and there was a lecturer who wrote his uni thesis on “seagulls” and any time he heard someone call them seagulls he’d shout down the hallway “They’re herring gulls!”
Seagulls are not just herring gulls though. The term is used for any gulls people see near the sea. In the UK that’s herring, great black backed & and lesser black backed, black headed, common, and kittiwakes.
A birdwatching friend of mine has decided that if he ever discovers a new species, he’s naming it “seagull” regardless of where he finds it or what it looks like just to piss off all the ornithologists.
Long ago, the four gulls lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the fire gulls attacked…
