i have a seagull story that isn't so nice. i think the birds are beautiful, but a little agressive.
i was walking to catch the bus in norfolk virginia about 7 months ago at one of mall areas. i can't remember which one, but there is a mcdonalds sitting off to the right that i went to for some fries to eat while i was waiting. i started walking towards the bus stop and pulled my red french fry box out and started eating the fries when a few of them swooped down on me. i laughed and thought "oh, just silly birds!", then i walked a few more steps and they started dive bombing me. i tried to run, but it was imposible to outrun about 25 birds. as i was running i put my red french fry container in the white mcdonald's bag and they went away. i went home and told my uncle what happened and he said he never had that experience with them and thought they were such nice birds. we also had a big discussion of what kind of bird they really were since i had never seen such wierd looking seagulls. i have never seen them with the gray and white coloring. i looked them up in a bird watching book that describes their habits and environment and found that he was correct. they were seagulls, and i also found out the color red triggers their eating habits. it comes from when they are young and feeding from their mother's bill. moral of the story: do not eat out of red containers while waiting for a bus in norfolk virginia. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi All, > > Here in Utah, the Seagull is our State Bird, even though the only sea > in > sight is now a salt lake.
