Clever Seagull Trick

This Herring Gull taps on my window every morning for breakfast. He's been coming since November 2010. He's not aggressive. If I don't come to the window he flies away and comes back later to try again.
I think Seagulls get a rough press. From what I've seen they're beautiful and intelligent birds.

I wish the sea gulls I see come to my window :(

I would be glad to feed them.

@BrotherRainSnow Put food out every day and they'll come. They love cat food and fish best. Good luck.

I have a family of Herring Gulls (two adults and two youngsters) living with me. The adults nested on the balcony outside my bedroom window. I feed them when they beg for food, and one of the youngsters pecks the window if I don't take any notice of his begging calls.

@lfheller They especially enjoy cheese and fish

So, did you feed him?

[bagdan18]

@cinnamonjw Every day

It's really nice to see there are others out there who see gulls in a better light than most. I feed the seagulls as often as I can, despite signs being up telling us not to. I just think they are gorgeous, misunderstood, intelligent birds.

@GingaUiido24 Nice to meet you too!

the point of "secret feeding" - don't make great noise! ;)

[isabel777isabel]

Thanks for posting, Bagdan!

that's completely right about cheese and cat food :)) once I gave them cheese sticks - this made great furore!

Has your nice friend still come to you?

its just discovered glass...

I saw a gul doing just that in Newquay. This video almost looks like the very spot! They do get a bad press unfortunately because they make the most of our wastefulness. I agree that they are intelligent and charming. It is upsetting how people can be so cold and treat them as if they are scum.

hes like "hey where the fuck is my breakfeast bitch"......

@GingaUiido24

omg same thing happened 2 me except it was a squirrel who knocks on my glass door of my backyard. wen it sees me coming with food, it politely backs up and waits for me to open the door to feed him. LOL so polite.
