Everyone else tried to make  me feel better by saying how horrible gulls are. I need not point out how much this tactic didn't work with me. I still feel bad.

Its absolutely awful when you've inadvertently hurt an animal  

I've never forgiven myself, for accidentally treading on our tortoise's foot when I was five  Poor poor thing.

It's a terrible feeling.

  Aww It is. It's not your fault though Hitch. If it got struck [ and I'm sure you aren't the speed merchant type ]  it could have been really sick anyway, as gulls normally have lightning reflexes. Nature is cruel. We watch Springwatch! We is made of tough stuffs! Still .. devastating... though 

How are your starlings doing? My bruv Owen says they're quite greedy, always the first to hoover up the birdfood. Wonder if you left scraps on your windowsill would they come over? Any hammy news...

I haven't really seen them since it's the weekend. I see them going in and out in the morning during my pre-work chill. Very busy, seems to be a third adult helping.

 

Hamster news, Have I mentioned that I open her front gate and let climb into the ball herself? Well, before and after her run around, I open the top with the ball held close and she climbs onto me and has a crawl/sniff about. I have learned from this that:

1) whiskers are tickly (my chin gets the first sniff).

2) hamster claws are like little pins (need to invest in mild sandpaper for cage bottom).

3) when she got to my hand she had an attempted nip, but, it wasn't hard or aggressive... maybe testing me?

4) she is soft and fluffy as a cloud.

She gets a daily ball run. During which she finally worked out how to get over the wood at the bottom of the doors. She also gets to climb out of her ball and crawl/sniff/hopefully not nip over her human. 

She ran about on my bed the other day, and if she wasn't so high up she would've jumped off. Glad I don't have a divan. That said, she generally runs back to her ball if shown it. Did I tell you she got out of it twice last weekend? (I hadn't put the lid on right, it popped off on impact.) She just crawled about and sniffed until I noticed. *phew*
