Sus cinco subespecies forman grandes colonias en distintas zonas de las costas e islas de África, Asia y Oceanía. Tras la cría, todas las poblaciones se dispersan mucho, alejándose de sus zonas de cría internándose en el mar.
Esta especie de charrán esta estrechamente emparentada con el charrán real y con el charrán bengalí, pero se diferencia fácilmente de ellos por su tamaño y el color del pico. El charrán piquigualdo como su propio nombre indica tiene el pico amarillo, la espalda gris, el vientre blanco y un copete crestado negro que se reduce durante el invierno.
Es una especie adaptable que ha aprendido a seguir a los barcos pesqueros para aprovechar los desperdicios tirados por la borda, y también a utilizar lugares de anidamiento inusuales como los tejados de los edificios y las islas artificiales de las salinas e instalaciones de aguas residuales. El robo de huevos y pollos realizado por las gaviotas, los ibis y humanos además de otras actividades humanas como la pesca y la caza son las causas de sus declives locales. No existe preocupación a nivel global sobre su estado de conservación, manteniéndose una población total estable de más de 500.000 individuos.
