oceanside 2012- the birds

In previous years we've found lots of sand crabs/creatures.

This year there weren't very many, but the kids found a new creature to play with (torment)!

The birds.

There's a phenomenon on the beach involving birds.

You will see the occasional bird flying around, but as soon as you open some food, they sense it and arrive in droves looking to feast with you.

The boys discovered that they could get the birds to flock around if they held up a piece of food.

One boy would tease with food and the other boys would throw toys, sand and shells at the birds.

(A PETA approved activity if I ever saw one.)

Then they discovered they could hold up a piece of food and run, and the birds would chase them!

Such fun!

I will never forget walking on the beach with my mom, when all of a sudden Thomas came screaming towards us, (cheez-it in his hand), "Ahhhhhhh!" while a whole flock of seagulls chased him.

Disneyland has nothing on us!
