Characteristics of Linen. Linen is a type of fabric made with flax fibers. Flax fibers are more rigid than cottons or silks, endowing linen fabric with a lack of elasticity and its propensity to wrinkle. Linen can be made using a multitude of weaves, which will determine the texture and weight of the fabric.
Seagulls live near the sea because their main food is fish. When bird evolution exploded after the dinosaurs had died out, they quickly (in geological terms) adapted to fill all the ecological niches made available by the previous extinction event and one of those was the sea.
Love them or loathe them, seagulls are as much a part of the seaside as a bucket and spade and ice cream. But why are so many seagulls increasingly found in inland towns and cities? Traditionally, the birds have lived around water, some inland by rivers and reservoirs. But their high-pitched call is now increasingly being heard in towns and cities far from the coast and many have given up living near water entirely.
