Black-headed Gull Sounds, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Did you know that many bird species such as this #LaughingGull perform this unusual "tap dance" as a way to lure out worms, insects and other small invertebrates from the ground? It is believed that the rhythm of the tapping mimics rain patterns, triggering different potential prey species. such as earthworms, to emerge from underground. | Seaside Seabird Sanctuary
