Local Birdnapping!

Today on Amelia Island Plantation, Jessica and Amanda were segwaying the beach scoping out shore birds during a routine bird survey when they came across an injured Laughing Gull limping helplessly across the sand. Being the big-hearted naturalists they are, sat for a moment to assess the situation. Two segways, no extra hands, bird survey clipboard, no extra bags, and neither of them were brave enough to stick a bird down their zipped jackets for 30 minutes during the ride back. However, Amanda got a bright idea... what about the
bag on the front of the segway? Zip it up 3/4 way and he can have a nice warm comfortable ride back to the nature center. That was the best idea they had at the moment and

decided to give it a shot. After easily catching the gull, Amanda gently folds his hanging broken wing to his side and gently eased him into the segway bag, zipping it up enough he can't escape; perfect. Jessica and Amanda finished up the bird survey with their new friend in tow. The Laughing Gull was dropped off at BEAKS, a local bird

sancutary, to be fixed up and released back into the wild. Needless to say, Mr. Gull will have an interesting story to tell his friends when he gets out. "I swear! There were these 2 legged aliens riding these machines and they birdnapped me and took me away in their spaceship!!! I barely escaped alive."
