Like most gulls, it is highly gregarious in winter, both when feeding and in evening roosts.
Black-headed gulls feed their young by regurgitating onto the ground, rather than into each chick one at a time.
It eats insects, fish, seeds, worms, scraps, and carrion in towns, or invertebrates in ploughed fields with equal facility.
