Gulls are Great Practice Subjects for Portrait Photography

I have been thinking about getting more involved with portrait work. One way I have thought about practicing for this new avenue in my photography has been to practice on Gulls.

Ring Billed Gull
Laughing Gull
Herring Gull

The reason I chose The Gull family as practice dummies is simple. They do silly things, they are unpredictable and they actually transmit gesture in some of their actions. So my theory is that if I can capture gesture in the face of a gull, I should be able to do better with a human being.
