Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / September 2007This is cute
Have you seen this? http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/seagull.asp  SignatureSincerely, Joanne If it's right for you, then it's right, . . . . . for you!!! http://www.jobird.com Wonders of Western Washington Video collection: http://www.jobird.com/private/wondersindex.htm > Have you seen this? > > http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/seagull.asp That is cute, and I love that people are paying for it so the shop lets him keep doing it. I toss old bread out to the birds here, and now and then a couple of them will show up. Macaw goes on full alert when they land in "his" yard. <G> >> Have you seen this? >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > then a couple of them will show up.

They are so competitive and obviously smart. People don't give some bird species much credit for intelligence. I've had wild turkeys, chickens, ducks and peacocks over the years. The peas are not too bright, the ducks are the smartest and the chickens and turkeys are a whole lot smarter than you would imagine. As with any animal, I think they were nurtured to the extent that their intelligence was more obvious than it would have been if they had been in a commercial setting. It's more than just instinct-smart. They all (except peas) demonstrated pretty good problem solving skills. In defense of peas, the hens are the best bird mothers I've ever encountered.

LOL I guess because it's the only bird he see's in the yard that are bigger than he is other than the 2 Ducks that come every year. For some reason he never seems to care about them. The Gulls sure get him going though. > I wonder how many bags the gull snags each day. I also wonder if his > technique will eventually be copied by others.

Turkeys get made a lot of jokes about because of the domestic live stock ones. They have been inbred so much for so long that they are un able to care for themselves. Wild ones are a VERY smart bird as anyone who has ever hunted them can attest to.

I wait with bated breath for someone to complain about the stress of shoplifting and the ingestion of transfats potentially causing the early demise of the gull. SignatureDave www.davebbq.com >> Have you seen this? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > stress of shoplifting and the ingestion of transfats potentially causing > the early demise of the gull. <VBG> I had not even thought of that. They will probably sue the store for allowing the birds to eat such an unhealthy diet. SignatureWithout question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza. --Dave Barry LOL LOL that is toooo funny.. thank you so much for sharing Joanne!
