In my observation of the Laughing Gull, I've noted that it can be an aggressive species in how it will attempt to steal food
from other birds including the White Ibis, Brown Pelican, and Sandwich Tern. The Laughing Gull will use this tactic in numbers.
I'm not sure if the attack is a cooperative effort of the group or simply an every bird for itself frenzy.
Nonetheless, I consider the Laughing Gull an extremely entertaining species in the avian world.
