There's Laughs - and There's Laughs.

Morning, in King's Lynn:
Seagulls laugh on the rooftops.
I ask, What's the joke?
There's no joke, we're just seagulls!
I laugh: the joke is on me.

Seagull's are skin to pigeons on my opinion, only bigger and cheekier. They're the mosquito of the bird kingdom, iritating , colonising and defunct of any useful purpose.
