This might sound strange, but I spotted a one legged seagull today. It was
just standing there, outside the Burger King Restaurant.
Seeing this was so surprising, the bird didn't act any different. It was just looking in my direction, waiting for a handout or two. The birds get french fries, quite often.
These birds are chronic beggars and people throw them food all the time. Thus, they keep coming back for more, every day.

Jay said that he has seen a seagull with one leg, but I never had before today.

It wouldn't be a big problem for a bird I guess

Guess having one leg didn't deter that seagull from looking for a handout

I've seen quite a few with one leg or minus a foot. I guess some get tangled in fishing lines.

That's quite a sight! It’s amazing how wildlife can still get around despite challenges. I wonder what happened to its leg - hope the little guy is doing alright.
