my little seagull friend

I went for a walk this morning along the canal as I was feeling down and stopped off at this little café.

sat outside eating my breakfast when a young seagull walked up about 4 or 5 feet away from me, it just sat there watching me eating and I started to feel bad.

so I tore off a small piece of toast and chucked it to him , he took it in his mouth and tried to fly off with it but don't think it was able to fly properly yet so a adult seagull came and took it off of him.

Again the baby seagull walked up near me, closer this time, just watching me, as I was about to chuck another small piece of toast the owner of the café told me to get out .

I was a little upset by this as I was only gonna chuck a small piece and there was only one other adult seagull there and was on the grass away from the main eating area so wouldn't disturb anyones food.

so I grabbed a sausage off my plate, walked round the corner a bit behind a big bush, poked my head around so the baby seagull could see me and he came waddling along to me, stood right by my feet and I bit off small bits of sausage and dropped it and he ate them.

the adult seagull which I assume was mummy flew up above my head onto a lamp post, watching her baby and made a few noises at me, I like to think she was thanking me, as no other seagulls arrived for a feast like they normally do.

I didn't think to take a photo but I walked away feeling pleased with myself, I know seagulls can be a nuisance but I just couldn't enjoy my food with it staring at me like that, so im glad I fed it :)

Aww

Good for you Astral

Sounds like the restaurant owners were having one of those days, no need for them to be so rude for you.. if it was outside their boundaries on the street there's nothing they could say to you anyway as it's not their problem, ,Awful

Sounds like mother gull was thanking you, they are definitely smart birds, they have us humans all sussed out :idea:

glad you went out for a bit and sorry to hear you were feeling rubbish hopefully things improve soon whatever may getting you down

you're welcome
Always admire someone who wil do the right thing, despite people trying to bring you down

How selfish of them, glad he got his food
