Mickey the Scouse Seagull

Introducing MICKEY THE SCOUSE SEAGULL

Along the banks of the river Mersey in the great city of Liverpool lies the bustling port of Seaforth. A busy gateway to the rest of the big wide world beyond the Mersey, way way over the horizon on far far away tides.

It’s also home to a unique feathered family of seagulls known as “the Seaforth Flock” and one special gull in particular Mickey the Scouse Seagull.

Prelude

Our little friend Mickey was no more than an egg the day he arrived at the Seaforth dock. From the moment he hatched, amongst the empty container stacks he freely did roam, long before he ever learned to fly and make the skies over Liverpool his home.

He is a graduate of the school of tough breaks and hard knocks but bears no trace of this as about his daily adventures he goes.

So if you visit Liverpool and a Seagull you should meet.
Be it down the dock, on Bootle Strand or any other street.
Remember to say hello as Mickey it could be.
And don’t forget to remember to offer him some cheese.
