I'm amazed the cat let the bird get away with this . . . although considering their comparative sizes, it might have been an epic battle had the cat objected!
That bird's a cheeky one all right! Must have been gull and wormwood to the cat . . .

I for one wouldn't permit that; the gull will learn to do it again and spread who knows what kind of filth in my home. I can't blame the bird for following basic instinct, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind feeding they the odd 1/4" ball bearing: They're smart enough to understand that a near-miss means that I can reach out and touch they if I choose to, and they'll go pester someone else.

"gull and wormwood?" Arrrrrrggghhhhhhh! That's the worst I've read in a long time. Very well done, sir.

ARGHHHH is right :-) And gulls will do ANYTHING for food, and sure as hell, that one will be back with friends.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of something I saw on AFV where a family pool was invaded by ducks (or geese, I don't remember) (I looked for it on youtube, but I didn't find it). The family didn't chase them off, and the next day there were hundreds of them. They kept coming because they hadn't been uninvited. By the time the family decided to do so, it was a far more difficult task.
