Because today, in one of the breaks, I went to sit outside in the glorious sunlight by the water for a bit and a huge innocent looking (except for the beak) sea gull soon waddled over cackling shamelessly into my personal space. Generous as I am, I fed him - I know it's a him because his voice was big and loud - a piece of pink-and-black-and-pink liquorice (the ones I don't like in the assorted packs) which it gobbled up like a greedy pig - although I'm not sure how because it suddenly occurred to me that birds cannot chew. Anyhow, Mr Sea Gull swallowed the liquorice and then, believe it or not, the ungrateful little glutton started making threatening little runs at me and odd noises (in a changed voice) too and I had to run away (well, get up and move away as fast as I could without making it look like I was scared of a bird!).
So I'm thinking, does anyone know if sea gulls like liquorice ? And if they don't, why don't they politely refuse?

How do you know that it was Mr Seagull, rather than Mrs Seagull?
Some things, you just know.
