Happy New Year and . . .

Hope you all had a great new year.

I am keen to read any weird stories regarding random events you may have seen on the street. Here is one for a bizarre occurrence that I witnessed today:

I ended up doing a double take when I witnessed this fellow walking along the street with a live seagull perched atop his hat. There were 3 or 4 more birds flying in close proximity to this character. After a short time the perched gull would fly away from the top of his hat, then either it or one of the other birds would land on his hat for a few more seconds. The gulls continued repeating this procedure for as long as the guy remained in my sight!

Is this random or what?

I have seen this guy around. There are some real characters around Dunners these days. There are more in Welly though!

Hey Scotty. Yes, I have seen a few over the years in Welly - The "Army" Woman, the guy that sings terribly via a mic and amp near Manners Mall, the late great Bucket Man and of course Blanket Man who lives on the street and was known to apply for home detention during a court appearance! Dunners has Speedy of course.
