text: 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.\nSea birds in general have specific islands where huge colonies gather to lay their eggs. The islands provide a barrier for predators to reach them.\nA lot of these islands are found in the southern oceans, especially for albatrosses.\nHope this helps.
