Two Seagulls

Two seagulls perched upon the rail
This morning, by the river.
The one with ruffled feathers
Had a message to deliver.

He tilted back his head and squawked,
His partner keeping quiet.
Whatever he was yelling,
It appeared she didn’t buy it.

Lol... Every time I see a picture or video of birds, there's always one quiet one and one loud one. It's always comical to see and you've captured the funny side of birds so well. :-D
