Voice
The loud laughing call is well known in the northern hemisphere. The European Herring Gull also has a yelping alarm call and a low barking anxiety call.
European Herring Gull chicks and fledglings emit a distinctive, repetitive high-pitched 'peep', accompanied by a head-flicking gesture when begging for food from, or calling to their parents. It should also be noted that adult gulls in urban areas will also exhibit this behaviour when fed by humans.

Famous quotes containing the word voice:
“O, I am smitten with a hatchet’s jaw;
And that in deed and not in word alone.

Unlike the voice of one that jumps for joy.
He splits my skull, not in a friendly way,
Once more: he purposes to kill me dead”

Than an order of words, the conscious occupation
Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying.”

When articles too nicely urged be stood on.”
