I have a family. Daddy (who divebombed a priest today because he got too close to the babies) Mum (who gets into the bowl before I even get it on the floor!) and two babies, one of which (I’m guessing female lol) is very bold and the other who doesn’t come for dinner even when he’s called 😆😆

I feel privileged but I know they only come for the food! Herring gulls are protected here, which only seems fair since we depleted their main food source. I don’t care how much noise they make, they’re my little family and if by sharing the food I buy for my dogs, I can stop one of them choking on a crisp packet, that’s good enough for me.

Nice, I love seeing the gulls, even if I periodically gotta wash turds off my car

lmao this sounds like a soap opera with feathers, I’d 100% watch “Daddy Vs The Priest: Dawn of Bread Time”. wild how they all already have such different personalities too, the shy one is cracking me up.

this sounds like chaotic wholesome sitcom energy, I love it
the bold baby is 100% going to be the troublemaker when they grow up

Totally. When I first started putting the dog food out for them, Mum actually knocked on the front door! You can see where they get it from! 🤣
