Jonathan Livingston Seagull
The good dr. filomena has recently provided me with proof of what I claim for the past year: that there is a flock of seagulls somewhere around Ljubljana. I’ve seen them above Tivoli park on a couple of occasions, but here we have incontrovertible proof, shot on Lake Zbilje. Note the Alps in the background in the beginning of the video.
one…
…and two

Two things come to mind: Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull (read the novel text in full) and global warming. Seagulls are not suppose to be here, no?

Tebe pa tile galebi res precej obsedajo. To je samo dokaz, da je Ljubljana mediteransko mesto. Jaz samo upam, da bodo poleg galebov tudi zenske zacele hodit v bikiniju naokrog.

Kaj pa tebe LJ naenkrat briga?
Če bodo res začele okrog hodit v bikiniju, ti ne boš imel čisto nič od tega

Global warming? Nah. It’s just curiousity…

No, jaz se tukaj nimam kaj za pritozevat, cetudi se bliza zima. Drugace pa bodo verjetno prej pingvini v Ljubljani kot ono drugo. C’est la vie.

Penguins in Ljubljana? Jeeez, we need a Batman, than

Tell your friends, tell all your friends… I’m Batman!

Eeeerrrr… so, where’s Robin?
And if you’re Batman, than you must take a bit better care of your batmobiles

Something happened to my car?????
October 10th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Actually, I was reffering to someone else’s car you were driving some weeks ago. I call it your batmobile, because your car cannot be, in all honesty, called that
October 10th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
That’s a grave insult to me and to all honest workers in Novo mesto. But still, you know about the batmobile troubles?
October 10th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Could it be that your bat-memory is starting to let you down?

@pirano: OMG! I checked the video only now… A great link!

For what it’s worth, I’ve also seen them here in Mediterranean Maribor. Flocks of them, in fact. It’s quite bizarre.
October 10th, 2007 at 7:34 pm
Oh, they are my pets
I have a couple of them for dealing with “homesickness”:)

@Michael M: So they’ve come all the way to Maribor, huh? Weird…
@Morska: Let my people go!

It’s quite common. They are where the food is. In winter they often come to Ljubljana’s refuse dump to feed themselves. So… for this big bird – what is a hundred km?! We go for a coffee across the street, it flies from Mediteranean see to the capital
Ah, birds…

Damn! And I thought I was on to something
But of course – I should have asked you first… I forgot for a moment that you are the resident aviary expert

[...] You can draw your own conclusions, but my guess is that 90 percent of bouncers are listed as working for several security firms at the same time. So stripping VIP Varovanje of its license will not actually get rid of the violent bouncers. They will just migrate. Like seagulls. [...]

Mars thanks for enlightning us. Although we’ve already developed a theory of the seagulls being ex pigeons influenced by the Krško reactors
Why go for a simple explanation when a more plausible conspiracy theory is at hand?
