I told off people at Seaworld today

[marlasmom]

I have no patience with people anymore. We were eating at an outdoor cafe at Seaworld when the people at the table next to us began throwing scraps at the birds - mostly gulls. The damn birds were swarming all over our table. I called to them to feed the birds away from the tables and they did for a while and then started again. There were the grandparents, parents and kids. I walked over and said you know when you do that it becomes very annoying for the people in your vicinity. It's very unsanitary. No one said a word. Their faces bore looks of total stupefication. Then I said - you know they will fly over you and poop in your hair. DH fled when I started talking to the people. (can't imagine why).

Good for you! Some people are so inconsiderate.

Its a good thing the whales dont fly!

I don't blame you one bit! It's not good for the other people or the birds! I always hate walking near the McDonald's fry places at WDW...feel like I need an umbrella for protection!

LOL, good for you MM! I hate those darn birds and I've seen them just totally knock people's trays of food right out of their hands when they had just bought it. They are nasty little scavengers that will even eat their own kind. One time I was at Busch Gardens and I saw one munching on stolen chicken strips. Made me think of Alfred Hitchcock.

I had 2 small girls feeding birds by Big Thunder mountain as I was waiting for my husband and daughter to join me after the ride.

Their father was not watching them - he was 25 feet away with his back to them and on the PHONE.

These girls were cute but their feeding caused a bird to poop on me and another gentleman.

They dropped their fries on the ground and then proceeded to scoop them up and put them back in the cup. I was going to tell them not to eat the fries as they were dirty but that poop but a bad taste in my mouth and so did the dad. I kept my mouth shut as they all walked away eating their soiled fries. Dad and the 2 girls.

marlasmom,
Were you talking about the birds or "second hand smoke" that was annoying??

Just don't do it at Walt's house.

High five! That is so irritating. Don't you think adults would know better than feed the birds? But I had to laugh when you said DH fled! Annmarie

I can't believe the number of people who were feeding the birds while we were at WDW, it was driving me mad!! If people would stop feeding them, they wouldn't be flying around over everbody's heads waiting for food all day long. Why can't people figure that out?

Some people ENJOY feeding seagulls
I have always loved to feed them when we go north, but I am a "considerate feeder" as I wouldn't do it when other people were around, or at an outdoor cafe or anything like that. But if I have a section of the beach to myself, there are seagulls, and I have a couple slices of soft bread....yes, I'll feed them! I think they are beautiful birds!!

Hey Scuttle what about Brids of a feather? Turning on your own kind are you? what about the birds on the Boardwalk how do you feel about them?

 

[LvsTnk]

What about the Friendship boat driver that holds his hand out of the boat and feeds the birds. That one kind of got me!

Check out this thread about the birds at WDW. Eeeew!!

 

[skuttle]

LOL Zurg! From all of the pictures, it looks like Skuttle is on more of a "liquid diet".

I wonder if people feed the rabbits. I've seen some around the bushes. Unlike my rabbit, that one was skinny!
