We yawn, and so do birds and other animals. Here’s a Great Black-Backed Gull that I caught in the act near the Barnegat Lighthouse this past Saturday.
Breat Black-Backed Gull yawning
Note that it was standing on only one leg. After the soundless yawn, it laid down, looking bored as it watched humans walking by it.

Love it ! (How the gull manages to balance on all that slippery seaweed is a bit of a mystery, eh, Hien ? [grin])
