let the grey gulls fly

I knew with and injured leg – it was able to wade.

They’re more hostile to you than others? I can’t think of another bird that is so persistently vocal! Flapping their wings in an apparent bid to show the little one how to fly. i haven’t had a poetic or composing bone in my body previous to this but i composed what i called The Pentire Lullaby, Pentire denoting the name of the hotel we resided in in Newquay. The sexes are similar in grey gulls. They are classified as “Gulls”. Why.Hi- when you say grown seagull, do you mean with adult, white plumage? The relationship between us and the seagulls seems a cordial, nod-if-I-see-you, arms-length, and we’d like to keep it that way for the sake of our human neighbors!Hi- I do love a happy ending. ClaireHi Claire, as soon as the chicks are old enough to keep themselves warm without the parent’s body heat, the parents leave them alone for quite a lot of the time.

They generally do just fine without our help- and anytime we feed gulls, we increase the likelihood of an unnatural increase in the gull population. I went outside and caught them making whoopee on a flat roof right next to our yard! ), b) raven or crow, c) marauding gulls, in other words species cannibalism, or d) familial cannibalism?Glad to read about other peoples interactions with their feathered friends. Two questions: is it true there is no way, visual or behavioral, we humans can tell gulls’ gender (apart from the moment of birth, which I have not seen)? By the third winter, gulls will have a whiter head and neck with less brown streaks, a light grey wing that still retains some brown dark grey feathers, and a yellowing beak. About six years ago a pair of adult gulls showed up and hung out on the deck railing. Pricey real estate, as you can imagine, if you’re a gull. The career is what you work so hard for, the one that pays the bills and supports families, the one that comes with seniority, travel, adventure and countless nights away from home. I fed it the natural food it ate. One seagull from the first nest is still always near the nest as if it is waiting for its chick. I happened upon this article when trying to find out why I witnessed a pair of gulls rapidly bobbing their heads almost in unison standing side by side, it looked really odd.I am originally from the North of England and moved South 3 years ago, these intelligent creatures can sense new blood, only a week after arriving I was descended upon by a sizeable seagull as I strolled along the seafront in St Ives, innocently eating an ice cream, the bird really shocked me as with a flutter or large white wings right in my face my ice cream was knocked to the ground.

This was before seagulls became a byword for audacity and voracity. But then sometimes the noncombatant joins in briefly! Not long after, another gull pioneer had the bright idea of nesting on our flat apartment rooftops, which are basically artificial islands, just as secure as the old-school rocky ones.

I am also guilty about feeding Avians -but only injured ones with discretion.

Most of the time, they act like they can’t stand each other. Some of the sounds seemed to reverberate right from their stomachs, thus the wording in my song referring to their guttural burps in one line to rhyme with various other chirps.I enjoyed reading your information about seagulls.

Feeding them bread/crackers can do more harm than good especially if they are very young. Every time. What other wild animal has the time to layabout and even fly just for the apparent joy of it? The passion is what started you on this journey, the one thing that makes your job more fun than most, one which you love and also get paid to perform. I am saddened at how these birds succeed at the expense of other, but that’s our fault mostly, and they are wonderful animals in their own right.JB- thanks very much for your eagle (seagull?)

They are the only parents of 6 to do this.Hi Don, thanks for this article which I found really interesting. I thought this was odd since all the other nests always have one parent near.
Quite looking and edging towards the owl.Rights to sit on the owls head and I would swear use it as a sex toy. Seriously, the reinforcement schedule for that behaviour must have been 1:543 and still they persevered. The best way to avoid being dive-bombed, I have learnt, is to sit with your back against a building or high wall, so they cannot attack you from behind!! The Caravan offers easy access to land or water, and comfortably seats 9 passengers. The Mom and Dad would ‘tag’ off continuously throughout the day. And against the crows who realized the seagulls were somehow getting preferential treatment!Then that evening, just before sundown, the eggs hatched, and there was much proud preening amongst the parents who totally calmed down.Next morning we could see the two tiny chicks in their nest and the parents regurgitating food to feed them.

They’re loud, greedy, invasive, polluting and aggressive. They wouldn’t have any evolutionary mechanism to detect toxins in new food items, unless those toxins were the same compounds as in their traditional food sources. Have you ever observed this sort of behavior? It probably was just coincidence that the one baby disappeared one day and the other showed up the next day. I witnessed it all spring- it kind of goes ew-ew-ew-ew-ew-ew-ew. I have suddenly been given some different aspects to them and have witnessed pretty much everything you described above but I was laughing at the ‘lap of victory’ and the contrasting/comparing their behaviour to ours in terms of in fighting and then pack mentality….
