Antique engraved illustration of the black-headed gull. Vintage illustration of the black-headed gull. Old engraved picture of the bird. The black-headed gull Chroicocephalus ridibundus is a small gull that breeds in much of the Palearctic including Europe and also in coastal eastern Canada. Most of the population is migratory and winters further south, but some birds reside in the milder westernmost areas of Europe. Small numbers also occur in northeastern North America, where it was formerly known as the common black-headed gull. As is the case with many gulls, it was previously placed in the genus Larus. The genus name Chroicocephalus is from Ancient Greek khroizo, to colour , and kephale, head . The specific ridibundus is Latin for laughing , from ridere to laugh . The black-headed gull displays a variety of compelling behaviours and adaptations. Some of these include removing eggshells from one`s nest after hatching, begging co-ordination between siblings, differences between sexes, conspecific brood parasitism, and extra-pair paternity. They are an overwintering species, found in a variety of different habitats.
