Where Do Seagulls Live?
Friday, 26th May, 2006 - Meanderings from thoughts of Wednesday morning.
Okay, I know I've asked about the Peacocks ... but this is a question concerning the whole of Britain. I've had the privilege to live in Penzance in my early teens and see and hear the hundreds of seagulls gliding across the sea. They sit on railings don't they ... and steal your chips?
Well, nearly everywhere I've lived there have been seagulls, except Hampshire for some reason ... probably too inland. :-)
So, the other day when I saw a rather sorry looking seagull muttering to itself (as they do when they're not laughing) on top of a chimney pot, I thought, where do you live Mr Seagull? Not that I know what sex it was ... see here's the problem, have you ever seen a seagull in a tree? I haven't. I now have this picture of these giant birds trying to perch in the top of a silver birch only to be catapulted hundreds of feet into the air as the tree bends down to the ground.
Have you ever seen a baby seagull? They all look the same size don't they, I've never heard anyone say,' ahhh, would you look at that cute baby seagull?' What do they look like when they're little?
So here comes me theory. They can't possibly nest like all the other birds, magpies and crows etc, they just pop up in the sky, 'pop' 'ow, look, there's another one!'
What do you think?

baby seagulls live in cliffs and get food from their parents until they're old enough to fly and come inland
