They are unrelated species that partially share a niche (seabirds). A gull is a strong flying bird that also frequents the shore. A pelican is a swimming and diving bird with a deep bill that can scoop up fish from the surface.

yes, an albatross isn't a seagull, it is a completely different bird, it has a bigger wingspan to. They also have different genres to the seagull and are T.O.T.A.L.L.Y different (Totally Overly Tall Around Leather Linings Yvonne). (funny huh!). Blah blah blah!!!!!@#$%^&*

There are some fundamental differences in anatomy but the simplest and most obvious differences are that albatrosses specialise in feeding on marine creatures that they catch themselves; gulls are opportunist omnivores. Albatrosses also have a adaptation to remove salt from their diet that allows the salt to be excreted from glands in their nostrils (along with their very close relatives, which does not include gulls, they have nostrils that are at the end of tubes that run along the top of the beak - hence another name for the group - tubenoses).

Whats the difference between a seagull and a tern?

To my understanding, a tern is a seagull but a seagull is not necessarily a tern. (It's kind of how a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't always a square.) A tern is a subfamily of seagulls (as a beagle is a subfamily of dogs). This particular seagull is smaller than most, has a long forked tail, and thus flies more gracefully.
