Today I watched a lady feeding a seagull from her hand. The gull stood in front of her and she would hand it small pieces of bread which it took, before waiting for the next bit. It didn't squeal or make a noise, flap around screeching....it just quietly and gently took the food it was offered.
People stopped and watched with smiles on their faces....except two middle aged matrons who voiced their disapproval with loud voices. 'They are seabirds and shoudn't be in the town.' one said while the other talked of her washing being plooped on and how she had even heard that they could attack children.
When the gull had enough food it stood for a few moments before flying off to wherever................Just thought this might interest someone...personally I thought it was a pleasant thing to see.:).....................This was outside a local supermarket and the woman who fed the gull was simply waiting on a taxi to go home.
