Laridae, or the gull family is well represented in Wikipedia here. Everything you wanted to know about Homey. Although well filled out with citations it needs a little more work. The first problem I had with the page is the second photo depicting two homies playing tug-of-war or possibly waiting for a third to play jump rope:
Do you think it is disrespectful to homey to have this photo contained on the official Wikipedia page of the gull?
A quick additional edit since the first three voters want the photo removed. If you examine the large photo it is clear this ground squirrel has been pinin’ for the fjords for some time. A flat squirrel, run over by something large, maybe a truck, and baked on the tarmac. I think either homey would say, “crispy, tastes like bacon!”
With 41 votes cast a contest to replace the photo is pulling ahead.

Did you know there are over 20 types of seagulls in the No. Atlantic?

Can you name them? (And I don’t mean, “Homey, Homey, Homey …”)

How fitting. Sea gulls are known as “Flying Rats” and squirrels are also known as “Tree Rats.”
Rats!

So, not rats, but Ratatouille with a crispy crust, yum.

It looks like a tasteful replacement of the photo is going to be the winner. Next week I will hold the contest to obtain a photo of homey in the best light possible. Two seagulls fighting over a herring I think would be ideal.

nb. The Gull page has been completely reworked and the tug of war shot removed.
