This is a very large bird and champion flier. The Black Backed Gull here is one of a pair, and is an adult. The juvenile Black Backed Gull can fly like their parents but they are brown and only turn into Black and White when they are 2 years old. Then they are adults.

They soar on wind currents and fly for miles everyday. They eat anything and are scavengers.
