Olivia/Stanley and Honey/Cinnamon Pretzels

Posted by Betty (New Jersey, United States) on 27 August 2008 in Animal & Insect.

After a feast of our pretzels, Olivia/Stanley went into our neighboring person's bag and grabbed a package of cheese puffs. She proceeded to rip it open and gulp them down three at a time! I hid my bag of pretzels!

That's hilarious. Olivia/Stanley is a naughty, naughty gull, but so cute. Pretty tame too. Great shot Betty.

They really have learned the art of thievery, haven't they. This is a great capture, Betty!

@Judy: Yes, they have... I have seen them steal food right out of peoples bags a few times! All they need to see is that cellophane bag! Thank you, Judy.

Nervy things, con-artists; but I love watching them practice their art (of thievery and con) on unsuspecting beach tourists.

@Viewfinder: So do I! I love watching their antics! We debated telling the lady that Olivia took her bag of cheese curls, then decided, what the heck!

A very nice moment but I think that bird would quickly wear out its welcome.

@Michael Rawluk: It came up to us, moved on to something else, then came back. One it got into the cheese curls, and the lady grabbed the bag back... it left.
