text: where do seagulls lay their eggs? or any sea bird for that matter gulls (as bitchy ornithologists would call them), lay their eggs in nests. in fact 70% of all gulls found in the u.s. lay their eggs near mono lake, california. sea birds in general have specific islands where huge colonies gather to lay their eggs. the islands provide a barrier for predators to reach them. a lot of these islands are found in the southern oceans, especially for albatrosses. hope this helps.
