I had some left over food so yesterday my boyfriend and I set out to feed it to our friendly neighbourhood gulls in St. Peter Port. This also serves as an excuse to get me walking and exercising my ankle. Initially we couldn't find a single gull on the ground but after walking around a lot we found one. And before we know it they became a throng. I had so much fun feeding them and taking photos of them fly.

What food do you give them? looks like enlarged pigeon. I am glad they are friendly there and doesn't hurt people. Their beak is so big that it could hurt if they use it to peck on you.

@flapiz I see but they won't harm you right. They seem to be afraid of humans too.

Seagulls are big bullies, be careful feeding them, as they can become aggressive.

Saw them bullying each other for food. We kept quite a distance as they have quite big beaks.

Be careful feeding seagulls in the UK as it is banned in some places. The RSPB recommend not feeding them as they can become a pest and health and safety risk.

They are used to getting free food from people so they are quite friendly.
