The Animorphs in seagull morph.

"I had become the bird that is never endangered. The bird that lives on all seven of the seven continents. The bird that seems to thrive in every environment. I was the mighty seagull. Eater of fish, french fries, melted candy, eggs, Burger King Whoppers, popcorn, beef jerky, pickle slices, maraschino cherries, cheese puffs, burritos, and basically any other food that has ever been invented. King of scavengers! Lord of the trash!"

―Rachel upon morphing into a seagull

A seagull is an avian scavenger species native to Earth. It is one of the few morphs acquired and used by all seven members of the original Animorphs.

Acquiring

"Fortunately, one thing we always have plenty of in the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (also known as my barn) is seagulls. We acquired the seagull DNA. Then the four of us, with Tobias watching from the high rafters, morphed into the new bodies."

―Cassie

Jake, Rachel, Cassie and Marco first acquire seagull morphs in The Message during their mission to rescue Ax from the bottom of the ocean, as the Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic had many seagulls in their care. A while later, while attempting to infiltrate Visser One's plans at Royan Island, Ax acquired one of the seagulls from the barn, although Tobias was not asked to do the same as he was stressed over having to acquire a dolphin morph. In The Threat, Tobias was asked to snag a wild seagull from mid-air for David to acquire, with Tobias acquiring it as well as he was the only other Animorph not to possess a gull morph.

Usage

"If you want to fly high and far, take on a bird-of-prey morph. But if you want to be able to go anywhere, without anyone really noticing, be a seagull. Seagulls and pigeons can appear anywhere and do anything without anyone getting upset. But if you show up as a bald eagle, people are going to notice. "

―Marco

The seagull morph was used numerous times by the Animorphs in order to travel and/or perform aerial reconnaissance as a group, since their raptor morphs would have been suspicious if they were to fly together. The morph was also frequently used to fly near or above water. While all seven members of the Animorphs have used the seagull morph, David only used it once while Tobias used it sporadically, electing to remain in his red-tailed hawk form.
