July already! wow!

Ball of Fluff, the baby seagull, is growing bigger and sturdier. He continues to walk around outside, guarded from a distance by his seagull parents and flock and yours truly.

Today he ate some fish- on his own, without help from his parents. They haven't been wanting to feed him for the past two days. However, his appetitie is good, and his energy seems great. He's doing what he needs to do to become a Seagull in this world. 

His chirp is changing from a baby's "peep" to a transitional slightly older sound. He keeps stretching his wings and hopefully in a couple of weeks will be ready to fly.

Some schoolgirls stopped by the other day and were fascinated with him- I could tell they would've loved to pick him up/take him home, but I said hello to them and we started talking. They mostly just spoke Norwegian, so I did the best I could.  They learned to keep more of a distance between themselves and Ball of Fluff, mostly because it made his mom so nervous. She's generally perched on the nearest rooftop keeping an eye on him.

Well, time for me to get back to work on my websites-
