Yes you've heard the news here first. The seagulls are on steroids in Vancouver.These birds compare well in size to the well fed blackbirds which I saw inland. I wouldn't put it past them to eat small children too. They're bred big, the size of chickens. Which makes you only wonder further about whether you're really getting what you pay for when you order chicken in this town.
How did I come across these child taking seagulls. Well I went for a walk towards the University of British Columbia for something to do. The weather is getting warmer nowadays so I thought it best to make use of the partly cloudy weather. Especially since I got drenched with rain the night before. Anyway I went to Jericho Beach near the university. From there you get a great view back towards the city. I took the opportunity to sit down, have some hot chips down at the waterfront. Feeding the birds as I ate. The child snatcher above in photo one was the Alpha male bird asserting dominance.
I also found the oldest building (now a small museum) in Vancouver over near the beach. Yeah its a slow news day when I'm pointing out this in the highlights.
Anyway I'll leave people with the view back towards the city and the grey sand beaches of Vancouver. With their views out to large container ships parked in the bay. Ah yes, the beaches here do make one remember how good we have it back home.
