Never mind the crow bros, here's the gullfriends.
Herring gulls live for 12 years, mate for life, and are intelligent social birds. This is a place to appreciate positive interactions with the little skwarkers. They are on the red endangered list in the UK and a protected species, so let's all be nice to them.
Rules:
- No offensive or illegal content.
- Let's be positive about our feathered friends. No complaining about stolen chips.
- Posts can be text, image or both.
- Must be gull-related. Any type of gull.
That will do for now. We'll see how it goes.

This girl was screaming the whole way as she came in for landing, and she gave me a beautiful reflection as she did!

Clever gull does some worm charming to get a snack. The official name for this is the "Seagull Dance" apparently.

This gullfriend got an itchy eye during the photo-shoot.
Took this photo in Park Frankendael in Amsterdam a few years ago - just learned about this community and thought it would fit 😁

Gullfriends @lemmings.world Ada @lemmy.blahaj.zone A daring show of acrobatics!
New camera in hand, we made a deal with some local gulls. We provide the chips if they pose for us so I can get some photos!
And didn't they oblige!
This fine gull is a Silver Gull (not a Herring Gull) from Australia, and you'll be pleased to know, the chip was caught!

Spot was a gullfriend until he started banging on the window with his beak to demand treats at all times of the day and night. Now he doesn't get any more food.

Gullfriends @lemmings.world Naich @lemmings.world A present from Steve
We have a gullfriend called Steve who we made friends with ages ago. She disappeared for a few months, but then came back. We gave her some currants, she flew off, and then came back with this present for us. Nest making material of sticks and feathers. Thanks Steve!
