Gulls have moderately long legs, especially when compared to the similar terns, with fully webbed feet. The bill is generally heavy and slightly hooked, with the larger species having stouter bills than the smaller species. The bill colour is often yellow with a red spot for the larger white-headed species and red, dark red or black in the smaller species. The gulls are generalist feeders. Indeed, they are the least specialised of all the seabirds, and their morphology allows for
Fork-tailed storm petrel marine mammals and also trailing behind fishing boats. Fork-tailed storm petrels have a well-developed olfactory system and heavily rely on odour to scout for food, so often they are the first birds to arrive at a pungent food source. When at the source, these birds seize their prey by fluttering across the water surface and may occasionally dive up to depths of 0.6 m. Like other procellariformes, fork-tailed storm petrels produce stomach oil from their digested food and store it in their proventriculus, a section of the bird's digestive system. This oil permits these birds to go for a long
