You know they have seagulls in sheboygan. Why should we believe its from CA?
Two reasons:
1. the tatoo; and
2. he speaks only Italian.
but can he juggle chainsaws? Seeing is believeing.
B Irv.
First, I must confess that I initially, but incorrectly assumed the bird is male, when in fact the evidence shows it is female.
For example, the tatoo I mentioned is a colorful, full-winged butterfly. What self-respecting male bird would have that, . . . there?
Also, look carefully under her eyes and I think you'll agree there is a trace of tear-stained mascara.
And, she rides a girl bike (I saw that myself, and its not a pretty sight).
If those evidences are not dispositive on the gender issue, then consider the following:
The bit of read meat hanging from her beak.
The roll of duck tape (no spelling error) and the remains of a spear head bearly discernable in the background.
And, the fact that just outside the photo, if you would get a wider screen is a smoking, featherless male gull (he holds the chainsaw).
I know the gender error is dangerous, but in this case, the more than thousand miles between me and the bird and the fact that it is less than likely she will read this post provide some level of safety.
That said, I'll answer your question. No, she does not juggle (she can use a chain saw in emergencies). Do Sheboygan birds juggle? Do they wear makeup? Do that have tatoos? Do they ride bikes?
First: Must you forget that in California gender is a relative term, so the seagul might be dressed in drag and hinting with the subtle gender clues noted above; that in fact, the gull is really a guy trying to fool the world. The poor girl gull trapped in a guy gull's body. I saw a documentary on PBS about it.
Second: Sheboygan is a magical place with very talented birds, I wouldn't hold it past em. Makeup, possible. Bikes... harley's; which is quite an entertaining but scary site, depending on where you are standing in vew of the bike...You don't want to be hearing the rumble of the hog, and then the distinct voice of the gull 'mine mine mine'.
I remain convinced by the broken spear head, charred and smoking male gull and hidden roll of duck tape. Plus, there is always the egg.
That's not to say this gull did not ride its Harley from Sheboygan (not a pretty sight and I don't like doing it).
