the movement is her trying to swallow the food she has in her gullet, in later life they learn to move their heads from side to side to try and force the food down
Sweet bird! (Though I know sea gulls are actually not that sweet...I have seen them rip sandwhiches right of a person's hand at the beach) I used to know a George Sea gull...actually
The name "Cynthia" just cannot escape my mind, no matter what lately. A very important person to me named Cynthia, left my life a few years ago, and I've been hurt from it ever since, yet particularly lately, it's been bothersome in my mind. Then, I see this video on my youtube homepage. Thank goodness the vdeo is about seagulls, rather than the video being about Cynthia dating some guy named Wergrill. Anyways, very nice video, Loreleila.
Quite a young seagull sitting on your ledge, so maybe not quite so wary of people yet.
I also used to live in an apartment, did a fair bit of fishing in those days, and used to share the heads and tails with a seagull that just happened to show up one day.
My kids and i named him Johnathon and he continued coming by the window daily for a couple years, unfortunately, after we moved, he was quite the pain in the ass (according to our old landlord) apparently he got cranky when hungry.
:) That troubles me slightly. I want to get to know her, but if I'm not going to be here she may get distressed and become a nuisance, which would be unfair on all concerned, including her.
...At least " someone is welcoming you "... So you found yourself a stranger in a strange land eh.... That is sadly one of the hazards of moving... the neighbors many times just suck... Maybe they think your a witch.. ha ha... THank god its not a crow coming to your ledge :O... They would burn you at the stake!!! Just some light hearted kidding here... :) ... Wouldnt be grand if the bird turned up at your next abode...
lol Oddly, if I were a witch I would be as invisible. They're very accepting of weirdness here, but not very interested in being friendly to anyone new. I want to be somewhere there are no neighbours, but I'm going to have to wait a while for that.
I am well, despite the air of depression around me, it seems not to be bothering me, but it seems to effect everyone else around me..Pluto is up to something. * Serge snuggles Rhinemaiden <3
i'll never forget the time skeeter's chick took their first flight down to my window ledge and ate right out of my mind, whilst his daddy stood there and watched. amazing.

It's possible, thoguh a few people have said shes very young. I'm no expert myself.
Thanks. It's a pain but hopefully we've found somewhere much better now.

She is young (how are you sure that the bird is a female?)
Juvenile gulls are typically grey, and they turn white as they reach maturity. This one still has some grey feathers...
Moving is always a pain...

I'll show you in another video. Different characters.
I'm so weary of moving. I can't believe I have to do it again.

:) No, not all that sweet, but full of character. It's not impossible Cynthia is looking for George. I hope she finds him.

I understand how it might trouble.
But isn't it better to supply some help and kindness than none at all ?
She/he may stress a little when the food stops but will surely find another source, seagulls are very resourceful.
And I've always been a little suspect of people who get upset with animals for doing what animals do.
It can be a great way to judge the character of people (how they treat animals).

well my comments have vanished ,but no matter i shall soldier on regardless....you
see i like the belief held by certain african
tribes that creatures are vessels containers if you will for spirits therefore
we,ve no idea where we,ll end up next
and maybe sometimes memories persist
beyond the cusp so the seagull could be
thinking"oh that,s cathy in there she still
owes me for that hand of poker she lost
but i,ve got to be careful cuz she might not
recognise me now i,m a seagull" & so on
lapislazuline 2 years ago
Ah I see...
There are connections everywhere
One way or another
Perhaps one time I was the seagull
And she the human
And I am returning her
Kindness to me
But as part of the pattern of evenything
We all know one another anyway
Even you and me ;)

Loreleila 2 years ago
i reckon i,m going senile "i,m thought i did" that don,t make sense ;) anyway what tangent had i gone off on? oh yeah
insular communities you see my maternal
great granny was an eastern european gypsy she married an italian chap and they came to the uk to avoid persecution
in his home country...obviously i,ve strayed away from the seagull a tad but
if you make a video of her further antics we can get back on track.....you did seagulls i did crows it,s all connected
somehow.......
