TIDBITS® LOOKS AT
SEAGULLS by Janet Spencer
On October 1, 1919, the Mormon church of Salt Lake City unveiled a monument to a bird. Mormon settlers were tending their ripening crops in 1848 when a plague of crickets descended, threatening to ruin the harvest. Fortunately, flocks of seagulls arrived, eating all the crickets. The Seagull Monument, designed by Brigham Young’s grandson, is thought to be the world’s only monument to a bird. The seagull is now the state bird of Utah. Come along with Tidbits as we go birdwatching!
SEAGULL FACTS • The term “gull” refers to a group of 23 North American species belonging to the family Laridae, which comes from the Greek word meaning “ravenous sea bird.”
“The Automotive Experts”
• Seagulls usually mate for life, but researchers say they do get “divorced” sometimes. Their divorce rate is about 3 to 5% a year. • A seagull’s feet stay at only 32°f. while the rest of the body’s temperature is 100°f.
