"and charlie, don't ever mess with a jellyfish"
he had heard his entire childhood
"but it doesn't' look dangerous," he thought
"and i'm a big boy now"
"so maybe i'll just smell it for awhile"
"i can't believe one little peck can hurt me, right"
"whoa. you are one tough little blob aren't you"
"that first little peck would have been enough, but i have something to prove to all the other gulls watching me. so let's just get this over with. one more full beak peck just to prove how manly i am"

we have no idea if he was truly eating it or just pecking at it, but it was fun to watch. i did google it and gulls do sometimes eat jellyfish...even with fair warning from their parents.

Ohhhhh...that's one brave bird! Eeek. Too squishy for me!
Bird, "I wonder if they taste like real jelly..." Tee hee!
Ewwww, great pics though.
Very nice series of photos!
Great shots!
This made me laugh!
I love seagulls, and may be one of the few people in the world who actually wonders what they are thinking.
maybe he is really, really hungry?
seems like a dangerous pursuit to me.
the tones in these photos are just glorious, what a great set of shots!
Glad to learn that seagull parents too, have their issues with the listening of their own children ;-)
Love the photos, and Charlie is the perfect name for this handsome fellow
wonderful photos ... and always enjoy a bird's perspective!

BEACH!!!!
I can't stop laughing...your photos are as always artful and beautiful. The subject matter for today and my word verification...the word is:
gelly!!!!
Yikes! I guess if they're hungry enough it might be worth the risk. Great photos!
Great series, Beth.
cute.
great sequence of images!
Pictures worth a thousand words...very fun post. And I cheated, I did google it, but couldn't come up with anything definitive. LOL
I loved these photos! And don't we all try something, just once, knowing we shouldn't?

Just like a kid...or a teenager. Ha!
He really is a manly man. For a bird, I mean.
UGH!! and to think, they don't have access to meat tenderizer and vinegar!........
Aha! I just knew it. How fun to watch. Maybe his beaks don't feel the sting. He is a very curious bird.
great shots :) love the narration :) thanks for explaining it tonight....
Wow...that first photo is exquisite.
Amazing!! I love the white on white in the image..and then - that they peck or eat or even play with these creatures??? Interesting...
Charlie sure has a beautiful dining room!!!
