__In silence and with one leg retracted, Gulls stand on their other leg to rest, as shallow as their rest may be. To test the depth of their rest, toss out a bit of that donut in your hand, then you will see and hear...  "The Flock Frolics!"  _m

herring gulls
to their warm breeze doze 
I toss a crumb

On the backwaters of Kochi I have seen gulls standing on one leg and waiting very patiently but I never tried to toss donut because they were far away. Excellent haiku. I enjoyed it.
