I only have this inquisitive Herring Gull painting left of my first set of paintings for my ebook. This was Gull in St Ives that I had a conversation with, I maintained eye contact t with it so it kept its distance whilst I ate my lunch. Their intelligence and understanding is equal to and probably easily surpasses that of a dog... and they are long lived oldest recorded 32 years... they learn fast to exploit our bad habits... and that is part of the reason we conflict because they give us no leeway when we mistakenly (?) Dispose if our rubbish lazily if we imagine if they are equivalent to Bears in Canada we would soon be more cautious! You can read more about them in my July ebook now available for a small donation to my fundraising of £2.50 All on my website #herringgull #redlist #education #humananimalrelationship #artforwildlife #gullresearch #gullprotectors #wildliferehab
