Some of you may remember Stephen

Dish is empty * Nansnanny* I did my usually clucking noise and she (he) was there
If one comes down next year I m going to put a bit of couloured spray on its back then I ll know for sure

I've had my magnifying glass out and yes, it's definitely Sybil.

She obviously prefers your food to the rubbish her biological mother brings her.

????I think so too ! she was on my doorstep when I came home

awwww you are the seagull Nanna

BlueBelle Funnily enough, I was thinking about Sybil this morning. It really does seem as though she has come back to see you again.
I'm really pleased to hear news of her. Thank you.

I am glad your seagull is flying free, where she belongs.

I was saddened last year when my friend yet again had a blackbird in her woodburner, luckily not alight. Normally a fire fitting engineer would recommend the chimney is caged to stop birds coming down/being trapped in the chimney.

Yes that’s the best thing to do shandy as I said before I can’t do that as I m in an old Victorian three storey house so would need scaffolding which would be too expensive for me
Hopefully Sybil or sibling will soon fly for herself she has lost all her fluff and gained her tail feathers so shouldn’t be long before take off
Sometimes the mums push them out the nest when they get big that may have been what happened

Presumably the young seagull fledged.

Good luck Sybil fly free in the sunshine.

She’s eating and drinking well but calling a lot I can see mum up on the tall chimney I wonder what they think
she’s got plenty of greenery to hide in if needed

And it's warm at the moment.

That’s what people here have been complaining of - the racket seagulls are making! It’s partly that the babies are now more like teenagers and are perpetually shrieking at mum ‘I’m hungry! I’m HUNGRY!’

One poor woman has got a baby seagull that fell into her garden. Every time she tries to go out, Mama bird gets very angry at her! ?

Bless you!

Shows what a good mum that gull is suedonim
I think my mummy gull is just fed up she looks down now and then but I can hear her saying ‘Well do it your way you wanted to leave home early I told you you weren’t ready but you knew best’

People just love complaining if we hadn’t overfished and didn’t eat food in the street they d be making their noise flying behind the boats like they did in my childhood
It’s humans fault that gulls are noisy, cause dirt, and seem greedy they are trying to survive in an alien world

I love this ongoing story.

I was in Aldeburgh yesterday, and people were all shooing the gulls away. They are beautiful birds, and just trying to survive. They were here first. Good on you Bluebelle.

I can imagine your mummy gull is rolling her eyes and saying ‘What can you do with them?’ to herself!

That’s very true, if we weren’t so filthy, the gulls wouldn’t bother coming into towns.

Because Sybil or sibling fell into my front garden this time she is much less safe and yesterday i heard her crying loudly in the back alley, but little I can do now, she has to sink or swim However this morning I put the food out as usual and savvy Sybil found her way back for breakfast Here she is walking away from the restaurant and didn’t even leave a tip
I think she will find her way and within a week or so find her wings She can already flutter sort of running with wings flapping
Her mum is still looking down
The second picture is just before I believe she fell for the second time

Sorry forgot the photos

Savvy Sybil

I love the way she's walking away obviously replete!

Best wishes to Baby Sybil

She’s the most spoilt seagull in the world!

She’s savvy indeed she was waiting on my doorstep when I got home from work at 2pm and has had a nice meal
Have to go to the coop tomorrow and replenish my supply that’s the nearest shop to me and funnily enough cheaper than Band M and the pound shops must be the only thing they are cheaper on ?

Just had dinner Mum and got a bowl of water to drink or cool myself in

Thanks Bluebelle

She is certainly a very pampered seagull
She may not want to fly away when she's so well looked after by you!

My Stephens all seem to have fledged and it hadn’t taken them long to realise that I’m a soft touch.

I always feed mum and dad first thing in the morning and that is it. They then disappear until the following morning, but I’ve been out gardening all day and all the Stephens and Sybils have been walking up and down on the shed roof begging.
