How to feed the seagulls with your own hand

You must know that a seagull is only going to come to your place if you feed it. Obviously you have to live in a seaport. You may think that feeding a seagull is a little dangerous because they are birds of prey, but if you show no fear they will also fear you. You can achieve this little by little. First you look a bit out of the window until you are used to them, and as the days pass you will see that when they come very close to you, there is a point when the seagulls are fearful of you and escape in fear.

You must leave some bread on the window ledge. Then they will come to your window, and will take the bread. At some point you will see that the birds come to your window early in the morning. That is when you can offer the bread by hand. You can also feed them with a glove on if you are afraid they might bite your hand. This is not going to be the case because they are very accurate and will only catch the piece of bread. They can also be fed with other food like sardines, they do not like squid, they like any sweets you give them like donuts, Christmas nougat, marzipan and also shrimp, chicken (yes they eat themselves). Potato chips are difficult to eat for them but they can get used to them. They do not like tomatoes or fruit either.

The problem is that seagulls normally come to your window and peck at the glass and this can be a little annoying.

Here is one of the seagulls at my window behind the curtains. Normally he came from the roof in front of my house.

There is a male and a female. Females are normally smaller, I think.

They usually live as a pair all year round and have their chicks between spring and summer.

The coastal setting also appears in Bouncing on the Beach, where I use grains of sand as a starting point for thinking about matter and life.
