Ring-billed Gull
Two Police officers are talking:
A naked women robbed a bank.
Nobody could remember her face.
Interesting Fact: Ring-billed Gulls near Tampa Bay, Florida, became accustomed to feasting on garbage at an open landfill site. Then, in 1983, operators replaced the dumping grounds with closed incinerators. The thwarted scavengers found themselves another open dump, but the pattern continues all across the gull’s range. When waste-management practices shift from open landfills to closed incinerators, gull numbers often drop. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ring-billed_Gull/lifehistory )

I work near a local dump and it saddens me to see the amount of birds that live there. It is an unnatural habitat
It is, I agree. Birds don’t know any better and all they see is food. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂

Some of these dumps burn off built-up methane, and the flares injure and kill gulls!
