Description

Obviously, this Gull was never taught to not play with his food. This guy was out in the parking lot playing with this chicken bone for the longest time... I'll bet HOURS. Other gulls would come by and try taking it from him and then there'd be a gull-fight. It was most entertaining to watch. Today is Piet's birthday .. Even though we don't see much of him here at renderosity, I know he peeks in our Gallerys sometimes. I hope if he finds this one, that it will put a smile on his face. Happy birthday Piet. Hope you have a wonderful day. :) Oh .. and happy valentine's day, to all. Shari

No bones about it, this is a well timed capture. Nice and clear with superb compo w/that yellow line running through the middle. Nicely done, and happy V-day to you too!

I can only echo TwoPynts Shari, a beautifully timed capture, it looks like it's trying to juggle with the bone. I don't think I have seen a gull coloured like this one before, the ones round here are mostly white. Excellent work, a great fun shot. Happy Valentines to you also. Hugs xx

They are one of the wildlife great survivors.. But jaywalking like that even if there was a tasty chicken bone to beak is risky! And Happy Birthday to a great friend
