That's a really lovely thing to do.
We get little Geese families wandering around near one of our supermarkets.
There are signs up telling people to be careful and to slow down so as not to hurt them.
A couple of years ago some cunt deliberately ran one of the little families over and then last year another twat went and did the same.
There are little memorial plaques up to remember them.
I just don't get the mentality of someone who could do something like that.
I mean they weren't hurting anyone.
We have a lot of seagulls and there are always posts in the local paper about kids and even adults being cruel to them, often ending up in a painful death. Same for the pigeons.
I get the seagulls can be annoying. They rip up bin bags and leave rubbish everywhere but that's down to humans and their filthy ways.
Funny that since I moved house the seagulls don't rip up bin bags as people round here don't leave their rubbish lying around everywhere.
Instead they seem to spend their time tippy tapping on the grass to bring up the worms.
