The herring gull knows when you're watching it. 👁️ It reads human body language, uses bait to lure fish, performs a rain dance to trick earthworms out of the ground, and passes learned behaviours down through generations. It's also lost 50% of its population since the 1970s. The Gulls episode of @BIRDZ is out now — it's not what you think.
