A large gull is hunting mallard chicks from the air, and it catches and consumes a small duck chick. There are a lot of young flightless ducks swimming around looking for food to eat, and they are easy to catch and eat because they can't fly away, and this is why a predatory bird will hunt and find them. Flightless young ducks are prey for a wide variety of predators and predatory birds. Gulls are a seabird, also known as seagulls. They are predatory flying birds and opportunistic meat-eating predators that hunt and eat a wide variety of animals that live on or around the water. Still, they will also eat grains, nuts and seeds, and fruits if the opportunity arises. Gulls have a fantastic instinct to attack and eat other animals. This type of feeding behaviour has evolved over millions of years to enable them to have an extensive menu of wild protein-rich animal meat food. Gulls will hunt and eat smaller birds and bird babies of many species, including aquatic birds, waterbirds, waterfowl, and any avian species that they can deal with and access; they will attack and take hatchlings, nestlings, and birds' eggs by raiding nests regularly throughout the bird breeding seasons. Food eaten without chewing is how the gull and all birds eat their food because they have no teeth for crushing, and dining on big or small portions by swallowing in gulps is how they feed. The gull uses its beak to catch animals when it dines and eats; it is also a tool for breaking open items and tearing up things to eat. The gulls are avians living and breeding in almost every habitat close to water throughout the world's coastal and inland waterways. Ducks are aquatic waterbirds that live on freshwater and seawater; ducks don't have the predatory instinct to hunt, but they will eat small water and land animals, plants, and insects. Food eaten without chewing is how ducks and all birds eat their food because they have no teeth for crushing, and dining on big or small portions by swallowing in gulps is how they feed. A female duck is known as a pen, and a male duck is known as a drake; the duckling is a tiny baby duck with no avian flight feathers but with fluffy plumage, and a young or adolescent duck is much bigger and more confident as a food forager with their avian flight feathers almost grown, and spending less time close to the mother duck.
