Silver Gull
4 sections
The Silver Gull (*Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae*) is Australia’s most widespread and familiar gull, found across nearly all coastal and many inland regions. Its adaptability has made it a regular presence not just on beaches and harbours, but also in cities, parks, and even far inland wherever water is found. The Silver Gull is well-known for its bold behaviour around people and its success as a scavenger.
