Yesterday feeding time:-) This old Ladie lives next door to my work,she as more than 80 years old and feed the gulls since she was a kid.The gulls follow her along the way of this ancien boat road walk in the hope of some bread,i dont have courage to tell her that "feeding the wild animals is not rigth..... in the last photo she saw me and came to tell me good day as usual:-)

Ok promise made,when i have new things about the feeding problem,i'll update the information and you do me the same:-)
Keep us updated! Maybe you might give us some good ideas! Seems to be an universal problem!
well from what i read and you tellme we can be less concern in winter time,now during this period until spring i have time to contact the association (FAPAS) that i talk about and whith them se what is good to do,they have biologists ,ecologists,people that know what to do.At list inform people of the danger of certain food and of what food give to sea gulls and other birds and once again thanks very much for all the valid information you gave me:-)

Antonio ,if you read the above link,February is bird feeding month ,where we are encouraged to provide food water and shelter to the birds for their survival. This link was posted on FB by the Audobon California.
Sea gulls might be able to process salt and they are scavengers.
yes:-)
but the other place i show you,is another scale,to much people,to much species,year it's only the old lady
That should take a load of your mind!
yes,they feed in the river water and this place is about 2km from the sea,so i agree whith you:-)
the gulls are probably getting food like fish from the sea too. I think that they should be OK .Bread is not their only food.
Thanks Emma,i knowned you will like:-)Yes is one of the old lady higths of the day,to her they are like to us our pets,she never forget them,even in rainy days,it´s a touching moment for her and for every body that se this scene
