But speaking of birds and french fries. Just the other day I caught a news segment on Austrian or German evening news about a severe seagull problem in Ostend on the Belgian North Sea coast. The population has more than quintupled there in the last ten years whereas seagull populations in other coastal regions of Northwest Europe have been steadily decreasing during that time. Those birds make a hell of a racket and they're especially keen on french fries :-) There was a brief interview with a french fry vendor who said that if you don't tend closely to your paper cone of fries, they'll be emptied by seagulls in seconds. Reading your account in a comment reply below reminded me of that.
