Buddy...

This is our friend "Buddy". He adopted us (and perhaps others who rent here?) and taught us a few things about manners. When another gull comes around, he tilts his head back and squawks until the offender moves on. However, he also allows his girlfriend - her name is "Belinda" - to come by and even seems to encourage her to help herself to any handouts that may be around.

He seems nicer than a lot of people I know and he knows how to pose for a portrait.
