Dolphin Gull
The Dolphin Gull , sometimes erroneously called the Red-billed Gull , is a gull native to southern Chile and Argentina, and the Falkland Islands. It is a coastal bird inhabiting rocky, muddy and sandy shores and is often found around seabird colonies. They have grayish feathers, and the feathers on their wings are a darker shade. They lay 2 to 3 eggs in December. Dolphin Gulls eat many things from mussels to carrion.

Dolphin Gulls feed and scavenge on variety of food, from mussels to carrion. They are often seen harassing penguin colonies, but in fact do little harm since they mostly take discarded scraps and excreta. The world population is very small with the majority being in the Falklands. More
