Seagulls and Cormack's are one of the common ocean birds. During the day they fly together in flocks swooping down in the sea to catch fish with their sharp beaks. Night fall they sleep together in flocks to keep watch if any predator comes in they alert each other. They remind me of our tribe, we flock together as family we help and look after one another. It has always been that way for my people.
