Right, not gulls at all. Also, "seagull" is not an ornithologically useful term.

Yeah I have heard lots of birders say that but its just a synonym for “gull”, I don’t see why its bad. They mostly live by the sea, seems fitting to me.

It's not a huge deal, but it misleading. Gulls are widespread over land.
