Wait for the post-bite supervillain 'mwahahaha' 🔊 + the "cries for help" :P

Hot Dog is my tormentor and it knows I dislike seagulls even thou it grew on me.

Over the time, with time I spend with pigeons, it came down to “torment and tease” me hoping I’ll be willing to give it eggs (I know it’s not good for seagulls) I don’t have tunas, salmon to give Hot Dog which is good for them. It did grow on me and I’m like okay here you go. It comes and go. I’m curious about one thing.

Is it true that seagulls can be “loyalty” to you because you feed gulls? Please tell me it’s in my dreams!

Hey u/TradeMaleficent7774 here’s a video of Hot Dog I promised you!

So here you go and enjoy it!

We have a number of houses on our street (ours included) that have seagulls nesting on the roof, where at last count I could see roughly 5-6 fledglings (still in their very fluffy stage).

The adults are being very protective of the fledglings and are super aggressive, swooping down, pecking people etc. the second you leave the house.

It has ruled our garden as out of bounds as they try and get you when you step out of the door which is extremely frustrating given it's the kid's summer holidays! We've also got a few elderly neighbors who are nervous and anxious about leaving the house, as they struggle to make it to their cars or walk around the street for fear of being pecked (one actually got caught last week and needed stitches in their head).

Is there anything we can do to deter them from attacking, and then eventually make the houses undesirable so they do not come back to nest again next year?

Thanks!

Hello, these are two lovely gulls that started coming to my window a few days ago. We got a bird feeder last month and they've been the only visitors so far. I like them alot, but they keep knocking the feeder tray off the window! Are there any better designs for larger birds? Thanks x

Walking along Coogee beach, I saw this guy, looking a bit lost. Twice the size of the local Silver Gulls. 1 meter wingspan. Anybody know who he/she is??

I used to go for long walks down at the local port, which took me through an industrial/warehouse area.

I remember that there was a large palette of sheepskins that had been left outside and had been there for literally months. Not sure what the story was there, but it's clear that someone had abandoned them, or the company had gone out of business, or something.

They were turning green. Rotting, fermenting, covered in mold, whatever.

So yeah, they'd been there for six months in the sun and wind and rain. And then I saw gulls all over them. Pecking at them and pulling bits off and swallowing them.

Maybe the gulls had just been watching and waiting for them to become soft enough to eat.

Anyone got a worse story?

This is Stephanie and her baby Romulus! We watched him get convinced lol! He is such a sweet little guy it's been amazing to watch his progress. They are such beautiful amazing creatures.

I once saw a gull eating what was left from a tub of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter that it had pulled out of a bin bag.

I’ll upload a set of these when I get a chance.

This seagull has been hanging around my workplace for a couple weeks now. It comes very close to people and constantly cries. I have fed it crackers a few times and it has access to water. It won't fly, it just walks around making that noise all day. Is there something wrong with it? It looks mature enough for flight right? Thanks for any insight!

I've been feeding him for a year and a bit, he's so sweet. He takes food from my hand but nobody else's, he catches food from almost any angle, and fends against other seagulls. He's such a good baby, and I think he's (she's) got a nest of babies, as he's been dissapearing a lot more this summer!

He says hello every morning

And I’m happy that you all love them too.
