I was feeding leftovers to seagulls for a few years. The flock grew and became loud and obnoxious. They nested on my roof and ran on the roof. Two of them at different times walked into the house and one pooped on a chair.
I gave that up and now compost any leftovers. Mom was not a bit cook and we never had enough food on our plate to waste any. There was never any guilting over starving children in China so I don’t feel bad about not eating all my food. The seagulls were fun for a while but had to give that up.
Oh my, seagulls! You were brave! As a kid, we used to feed gulls at the beach stale bread, and when you ran out, it could get interesting very quickly 😜
I do have to be mindful when the raccoons have new kits tho, who have not learned that the crazy lady prefers to keep a safe distance LOL.
Blessings,
