You think keeping your Busby neat is a problem, try tidying my feathers with a long beak, short legs and plump body in between why don't you?

LARUSKA THE EXPLORER SEAGULL

Once upon a time there was a seagull named Laruska, who lived in a nest high up on the cliff of Colorado Beach. Ever since she was a baby she wanted to accompany her parents to explore other environments. She was always ready to fly, but her parents forbade her to leave the nest until she was older. It had been a long time for Laruska, so her parents decided to teach her to fly. Laruska began to flap her wings. She couldn't believe it. Very excited she began to squawk.... her squawks deafened her parents. She didn't listen to their advice.

She simply took flight. After that trip she decided that she would fly every day on the sly. She had to exercise. Her parents were always teaching her something new, but she was always hungry for new thrills. She was not satisfied with just flying and fishing in the sea. One day while flying over Hidden Beach she noticed some children in the sand.... at first she crept closer. At that moment an unfamiliar scent tempted the rebellious seagull. Without a second thought it swooped down. It stole some food from the children. And quickly took flight to land more quietly on the cliff. There, tasting the stolen delicacy, she discovered new flavors. From that moment on, her culinary adventure began. Day after day he ventured into the restaurants of Safe Harbor. Curiosity was his north. She would steal ice cream. She would take french fries and a piece of patty. Her fame spread like wildfire. However, despite her behavior, Laruska enjoys the sea breeze and her peaceful home and, on the advice of her parents, is learning to temper her adventurous spirit and value the company of her feathered friends.

Hello friends and @wrestlingdesires, I have a love story for you :

 **When Love Comes**

Reine, a pelican is enjoying the warm evening air on the beach, she is seen lubricating her feathers, her long and beautiful neck looks agile when lubricating the feathers on her body, she really enjoys her life, she doesn't have any burdens, she lives alone, secondly her parents died long ago, she has no siblings, she is the only one, she doesn't need to think about any obligations, her life is his own.

Sometimes, she dreams of a handsome prince with a sturdy body on the beach, calling her and confessing his love, don't all girls love this beautiful story?

One day in the bright morning, when he was looking for fresh shrimp behind the rocks, he saw "a pelican", it seemed, he was sleeping on the beach, he tried to approach, "oh he's not asleep, but he's injured, his wing is broken and his left leg was bleeding. Reine shook his body, he tried to wake him up. But to no avail, Reine started to panic, "is he dead?"

Reine took water and started splashing it on the pelican's face, its sandy face began to clean, a soft voice was heard, "water...water...water..." Reine immediately got water, the pelican looked weak, Reine helped him stood up and took him to his hut. Reine took some leaves and treated his wounds, Reine also caught some fish for him.

"My name is Tyan, thank you for taking care of me all this time," said the pelican.
"What really happened? Why are you hurt?" There were many questions that Reine had been harboring.

"I come from across the island, over there," said Tyan, flapping his wings, pointing towards the ocean. "A few days ago my friends and I were fishing on the beach, suddenly a strong vortex of wind hit us, I didn't have time to save myself, I fell into the water and finally you found me, this is fate"

Reine's heart beat faster, she felt like the dream prince was in front of her, but she hid her feelings, she didn't want to appear "cheap".

They became closer, but no one started to confess their love, everything just happened, there was a comfortable feeling between their relationship, they enjoyed it. Tyan said that he lives with his mother and younger sister, his father is dead, they live with other pelicans on the beach, in their community there is a rule that they marry pelicans in their community, no pelican has married a pelican outside. their community. Hearing this, something suddenly stabbed Reine in the chest, it was as if she was being crushed by a large rock.

"I will go home tomorrow morning, I hope you can come home with me, meet my mother and sister," said Tyan full of hope, He fell in love with Reine at first sight, but he didn't dare to express his feelings.

Reine was silent, didn't give an answer, she didn't want to be rejected by their community, her chest was tight, she felt comfortable being next to Tyan, but she wasn't ready to be rejected.

The next morning, Reine let Tyan go, something suddenly disappeared, she felt her soul empty. Likewise with Tyan, he was not willing to part with Reine, but he did not dare to confess his love, he left in despair.

Since Tyan left, Reine felt her days were empty, she was just waiting for the sun to rise and set, she should have come with Tyan and fought for her love, she had to be ready to be rejected, "how stupid I was," she said to herself.

Tyan has arrived home, his mother and sister are very happy that he returned safely. Tyan told about Reine who had helped him, he was very excited when he told about Reine, a brave girl who lived alone on the island, for some reason he
felt like he really missed Reine.

That morning, the wind was blowing a little hard, but the sun was starting to shine brightly, Reine rushed to the beach, enjoying the fresh water and delicious fish, it was starting to be noon, she sunbathed on the beach, while watching flocks of seagulls. He didn't realize that someone was watching his movements all this time. Suddenly his eyes darkened, someone closed his eyes, someone whispered in his ear, "Will you be with me until death do you part?"

Reine opened her eyes, she couldn't believe Tyan was in front of her now, "am I dreaming?" she asked.

"I shouldn't have left you alone, my mother said that love must be fought for, maybe it will be difficult if you have to live in my community, but I am a man, I will fight for my love, starting today I will live with you, here, fighting for our love".

Reine couldn't say a word, she hugged Tyan, for the first time in her life, she felt the warmth of a male's fur. "Yes, I want to fight with you, until death do us part," he whispered in Tyan's ear.

I invite @maytom @hindavi to join in this challenge

The dove Sally hated humans.

"Just look at these people, living their lives as if they were eternal. They spend most of their lives valuing things, accumulating as much matter, objects they will never take with them when they depart for the better. Their vices, their smells, are so disgusting! They still consider themselves the most conscious of animals. The world is only like this because of them; before they arrived, nature was ours alone. Happy were my ancestors!"

But some humans loved to stroll through the park and throw some pieces of bread to the doves.

"Understand, Matt, I just don't like having to deal with your mother. Can't you say we're going away this weekend? Honestly, her spending an afternoon at our place is fine, but a whole weekend?"

"We'll talk about that later. Right now, I just want to walk and feed the doves a bit... Look at this one, so beautiful, with that mysterious gaze!"

So Matt throws some bread,

And the dove Sally, full of hatred, responds: Coo - Coo while having her first meal of the day.

Hello @wrestlingdesires, thanks for the invitation, I really missed this contest.
Hoping you are well, I leave here the short story I made inspired by the three photos.

Title: "Alfredo, Jacinta and Piero".

Alfredo was a wise crow, Jacinta, an intelligent seagull and Piero, a patient pelican who arrived one day to a small, picturesque and quiet fishing village.
Piero was silent and followed a daily routine of posing near the docks, flying with companions to fish south in the morning, and returning to sleep north in the afternoon.
Jacinta loved being on the beach on rocks, near spas and boats, while Alfredo lived a life away from the sea.

He had come from afar, sailing with a family of adventurous humans ⛵⚓, whose children entertained him and taught him tricks. being amazed by his amazing ability to solve problems.
Fortunately, her partner, Carmen, also traveled on the ship and, when the human family disembarked, he flew with her and waited several days in a nearby tree for them to return to continue the trip.
There she saw them from a large stone, the beautiful, pretentious and also boisterous Jacinta. She looked at Alfredo and Carmen suspiciously and she showed off in front of them her skill in catching fish from the water and taking advantage of the ones that some fishermen left near their boats.
During the wait, Alfredo and Carmen felt hungry and, not knowing where to look for the food they were used to, Alfredo yelled at Jacinta and Piero with all his might to leave them something to eat.
Piero interrupted his grooming to fly next to Jacinta near the shore and dive, coming out with his large beak full of fish and throwing them towards the crows.
These, very happy and grateful, enjoyed a different meal, and learned something new, applying the proverb "To the country where you are, do what you see", because in their place of origin they ate seeds and insects.

It was in this way that the local residents witnessed another of the many curious scenes that occur in nature, where such different species from such distant places can interact to cooperate with each other.
Colorín Colorado, this story is over, whoever stays sitting is stuck-
I would like friends @wenggo and @lesmann to also participate in this fun challenge.

Hello friends and @wrestlingdesires , glad to participate in this contest, I love it.
My story is based on @thebigsweed's photograph of the pelican. And what she told us about her little daughter.

I DON'T WANT TO EMGRATED

Sebastian the pelican is on the beach, preening. The day is very cold, and the breeze blowing from the sea towards the coast lifts the feathers on his wings.

This winter is going to be hard here, so I'm going to migrate to the Caribbean coast, with its azure sea and golden sands bathed in sunshine. And in his thoughts, he imagines diving into those waters, eating lots of fish until his belly is full, and rocking upside down in the gentle waves.

But suddenly, a thought took away all the desire he had.

A large shark emerges from the depths, catches him with its mouth full of sharp teeth, and devours him.

His friend Pedro flew in and landed next to him.

"What's the matter, Sebastian? You look scared".

"You know, my friend, I'd better spend this winter here quietly eating fish from the fishermen's barges. I'm too old for such long trips".

"But my friend, you are going to be alone, we are all leaving and what happened to your taste for warmth, sun and blue sea?. You were the first to take flight"

"It's true, but I think now I love the cold, I love the cold, the gray sky, the mist and above all ... the sea free of sharks".

"Sharks! Hahaha, well, my friend, I don't know why you have changed your mind, but if I tell you something, you are going to freeze".

Winter is over, spring is here, and the flock of pelicans is returning to their beach. Here, the beach is full of sunshine.

Pedro is looking for his friend Sebastian, he imagines him dead, his body decomposing near the rocks with crabs crawling in and out of his mouth.

He arrives at the dock where the fishermen are unloading the catch, and there on the mast of one of the boats is Sebastian, with his belly full. Surprised but happy, he approaches to greet him.

"What a pleasure to see you, my friend!, and how you survived?".

"I was about to freeze to death, but a little girl picked me up and took care of me, now I am a domesticated pelican"

Something in Common

 
One day two birds, from different sides of the planet, met on Hive.

The Crow Lady was from Up North. And Up North was somewhere that the Slightly Grumpy Gull had always aspired to fly away to.

Of course... the Crow Lady was a bit curious to visit the land of the Slightly Grumpy Gull near the coast. Where the ocean met the land and baboons perched on roofs at lunchtime to get a better view.

And so it came to pass, that the crow and the gull talked for a while and decided on a visit someday. Somehow. Some way. Fortunately, for birds, it's easy to fly when you have wings.

And, after all the inspiring conversation, the gull was slightly less grumpy anyway.

Perhaps open, honest conversation creates new possibilities, connections... and adventures!
