Silvergull postures

Hi everyone, I was wondering could somebody teach me about silvergull postures and there meanings? Like the one where they bow down low with Their head raised slightly, or when they tower over another gull and screech real loud? There are probably more too :) thanks

Those are threat postures I believe, tegan, & are assertions of dominance over other Silver Gulls, particularly when there's food the dominant bird doesn't wish to share. The same sort of behaviours occur among humans in the office.
