They do keep the streets clean of spilled ice cream and fries though. :mrgreen:
And they're just a bird at the end of the day, doing their bird
thing as nature intended! For me who lived in the centre of France, miles from the sea for 5 years, the cry of a gull combined with the smell of sea air is just the BEST thing! :D :D :D
we live by the ocean and our gulls and pretty well behaved and not food aggressive but the west coast of FL you can't eat on their beaches the birds fly right into your face and try to steal your food. Every time I see someone feeding them it irritates me, it's not the correct food for the birds and it makes them a nuisance if you do it much.
