Wy do seagulls fly over and congregate in parking lots? Are they confused and think it's water???

Technically, there is no such a thing as a "seagull." They're actually just gulls. As a group, they don't live exclusively at, near, in or over the sea. There are some species (like ring-biled gulls) that are more common inland than at the sea. They find their way to large open areas (such as parking lots and school yards) by flying over them. You can see a lot of land from that height, so it's not hard to pick out nice spots to hang. They are not confused into thinking it's water, they just know by now that large parking lots are good eatin'.

My pet Emu -Larry- says you are mistaken. In reality birds do not fly. See, you were outside, enjoying a lovely day when you stumbled upon a group of kids playing in the park. What you saw was nothing more than a fowl ball.

Scientists say that there is some chemical at the bottom of the sea only in that part which attracts everything which goesd above it, even birds! In our religion there is a belief that our 12th imam is invincible and stays there. There R quite many rumours but logical its correct.

Could they of been buzards? I am not familar with your area, here in the South (GA) we have black vultures and they are completely black (brown), we also have turkey vultures but they have white on them. Buzzards fly by their self and in large groups.

I believe they're cavity nesters. In other words, they would nest in holes in trees in the wild, so it wouldn't look like much from the ground. They are also a common users of manmade bird houses.

Lots of animals are habitual, meaning they will return to the same spots for mating, nesting, etc.  Birds are particularly good at it, just look at their migratory patterns, they will usually make the same pit stops along the way.  Chances are they are the same geese, and they have picked that spot to be their love nest.  aww...  If it's a good spot and other geese know about it, you might see another couple in the future, who knows?

I have never heard of any paranormal significance in a flock of wild turkeys.  I do see several large flocks of them every day on the way to and from work.  Usually there are prehaps three dozen but I have seen over 100 of them at a time.  They usually are browsing for food in fields a few hundred yards from the highway but do come right up on the shoulder at times.  They have little fear if you stop the car and a friend once chased them and caught one by hand.  They are not nearly as wiley as hunters would have you believe.  During their mating season they act differently and the toms are all puffed up trying to attract a mate. Or is it mates?  They can fly but I have seldom seen it.  One flew up in front of my car a few years ago and smashed into the windshild (it did not break) covering the whole field of view (they are BIG) until it fell off.  They are a real hazard in my area rapidly replacing deer as the most animal/vehicle accidents.  Currently there are 10,000 deer hits a year here, I don't know the turkey hits but they can be nearly as damaging to an auto.

They fly and land a lot like pigeons, so I don't think they have a distinctive flight pattern.  At least, not distinctive enough to notice.  It's probably more that it's easy to spot a dove in flight (because it's white) rather than the way it flies.

Generally they hatch near the water they are buzzing around.  They don't go far, and when they do they just stop near the next stagnant pond.  Remember, they all don't have to make it from pond to pond.....tens of thousands may try to find water...only hundreds may succeed.

Birds hear a lot better than we do, and worms moving around in soil make noise that is distinctive. OR, maybe they have Xray vision! :-)

This myth proposes that if you feed a gull an Alka Seltzer tablet it will swallow the offering and when the lethal charge gets into the stomach and dissolves, the expanding gasses will cause the bird to explode. Every year there is another story about some mean kids doing this. Oddly, it always involves New Jersey.\n\nAfter you stop giggling at the image of gulls exploding like flying land mines all over the Jersey shore, the unlikelihood of the myth starts to intrude. If it were true, it would be a big story. I can see the coverage now: Dan Rather in his safari jacket, standing on the windswept coast, hair blowing in the wind, gull feathers raining down in the background; PBS specials (who can resist the vision of a gull, cheerfully flying along and then suddenly exploding, right in front of the camera?); exposés in the tabloids.\n\nIf the body could not handle a little Alka Seltzer without an explosion, it wouldn't be legal to sell the stuff over the counter. If it caused gulls to explode, there would be a rash of reports every year. I do not know the physiological process by which the body processes a tablet swallowed whole (and I have no interest in trying), but I assume it involves, among other things, a fair amount of belching and a slightly gassy feeling. Actually, if I ate some of the stuff that gulls do, I would be thrilled to have a little relief, but they seem to do fine without it.

Depends on the bird. Some settle down for the night alone, or on a nest. I assume you're talking about big flocks of birds like blackbirds and crows. Some of them look for a spot to roost together because of safety in numbers. They may fly all over at dusk to round up everybody and then fly to whereever they decide is a safe spot to spend the night.

It's too cold for them up north. We get all the birds down here, in the Winter time. Actually we have birds all year round. Just different ones in the Winter.

They are birds. \nThey lay eggs.
