Look what hapenned in a supermarket in Aberdeen, Scotland, with an unemployed seagull. She enters the shop, after checking that the keeper is looking in the opposite direction, and grabs a packet of chips. The amazing thing is that she picks up allways the same brand, 'Doritos Cheese'; comes out, opens the packet and splits the contents with her bird friends. Observe the difference of speed when she enters and after comes out the door, with the stolen product. Fernando . ![]() |

Fernando my friend! I was going to post this myself when I got the chance to hunt the clip out on youtube. Isn't she a fantastic little bird? I live in a seaside town in an important breeding area for the sadly declining Herring-gull (like the bird in the clip). They are cheeky and love to steal chips, burgers, and anything they can from unsuspecting holiday makers in the summer. Sadly there are those here who hate them, and many of each years new babies are killed (often deliberately) on the roads after coming off of the rooftop nesting sites as they learn to fly. I have saved many over the years, well those that I could ![]() They are smart, funny, subtle and complicated. I would rate their intelligence as very high. They can live up to 30 years. One of my favourite creatures and probobly the thing I like most about living by the ocean. |

SEAGULLS ARE SURVIVORS IN A CLASS WITH COCKROACHES SO I CAN'T SEE THEM BECOMING EXTINT UNLESS EVERYTHING ELSE GOES FIRST.
PERHAPS THEY HAVE MOVED AND CHANGED THEIR HABITS SO NOT AS MANY ARE TO BE FOUND IN THEIR OLD HAUNTS. HERE IN OKLAHOMA THOUSANDS CAN BE FOUND PICKING OVER THE NUMEROUS LANDFILLS PERHAPS THEY ARE EATING THE SCRAPS FROM ALL THE FAST FOOD JOINTS. IF SO WITH ALL THE CHEMICALS IN THOSE FOODS WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE GIANT OBESE SEAGULLS IN THE FUTURE. ![]() I DO LIKE SEAGULLS AND ENJOY WATCHING THEM FLY BUT THEY CAN BE VERY CHEEKY AND CANTANKEROUS BUT WILL BE YOUR FRIEND IF YA FEED THEM. ![]() I REMEMBER ONE FORUM MEMBER USED TO HAVE PET POSSUMS I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL OUT THERE WITH THE POSSUM POSSIE. ![]() |

LOL, they are adaptable for sure. They'd be in serious trouble otherwise.
Where I am they certainly couldn't survive on the remaining stocks of mackeral, herring and sand eels that genuinely were their staple diet when I was a kid. I remember watching them fish in the summer amongst huge shoals of mackeral and herring just offshore, but there just arent the fish in the coastal waters now. They are now on the RSPB 'amber' (declining) list in the UK. 'They have suffered moderate declines over the past 25 years and over half of their UK breeding population is confined to fewer than ten sites.' (quote from RSPB website). I'm suprised now that this thread has expanded to 'all' animals that nobody across the pond has mentioned Raccoons? They are pretty much the cutest ninja bandits of the animal world! |

Raccoons = Rabies here; destructive beasts that will move into your house via the chimney or gable end vent .
Coyotes (fearless) that average 60 - 70 pounds . All on this tiny cape less than 2 miles wide . ![]() |

Well yes Jim, that is to be expected, it is a part of their natural hunter/scavenger nature after all.... Ever think of domesticating them and selling them to the tourists. ![]() ![]() |

So this is where everybody went!
Behold the Acme hover-dog Model M-78 (bottom) and the prototype Model X-2 (top). The former has a very low (aerodynamic) drag coefficient. Note how the said hoverdog folds back its ears, and legs and tail tucked close to the body, for a more streamline performance. PS - Found the pic in Reddit ![]() |

!Hi Rod, nice to know from you! Yes, she is a Blue Heeler, and she has three puppets, now about five months old. The father is another Blue Heeler from a friend. I donīt have pictures of them right now, thus I did not post theirīs. I like this kind of dog. The other is a chow-chow with very bad temper...but not with me. The belgium shepherd in fact is an excellent modern war dog, and a very useful companion for a police man. I like them better for such purposes than itīs german counterpart. |
