Civilized gull watching, starting from you and me
1. Seagulls are omnivorous animals, mainly feeding on aquatic organisms such as fish and shrimp, crabs, shellfish, etc., and food such as bread is only a supplement and auxiliary, and must not be spoiled food, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases of seagulls;
2. Be civilized and friendly when watching and feeding seagulls, keep a distance from seagulls, and do not pull seagulls for "close contact" or take the best photos, causing unnecessary harm;
3. After the viewing, remember to take away the remaining feed, do not put it into the sea, too much feed soaking in the water will pollute the water quality; the plastic bag is sorted into garbage cans, and the seagulls are also concerned about taking care of the environment.
At present, the number of seagulls coming to Qingdao is not very large
The big troops will have to wait until December
At that time, there will be many silver gulls from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia overwintering to green
It is also the season when the number of seagulls in the island city is the highest
How long have you not been to the pier?
Have you all fed seagulls?
What other places are good for seagull viewing?
