This sign made me smile last time we were in Taupo. It seems this Black Billed Gull was taking it literally.
Today is Waitangi Day in Aotearoa New Zealand. It commemorates February 6th 1840 when an agreement to co-govern was reached between Maori and Pakeha. I have the day off as it is a public holiday.
This movie might help to explain the foundations of the day:
Sadly at the moment our country is in such disarray with the 3 parties that were elected into parliament who are now trying to change the treaty to suit their own opinions. I don't understand why all our world leaders and people can't work together for unity.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's signs.

What a great capture, love it.
Love the shot. Good timing.
...it found the right sign for a perch.
Wonderful capture!
Yes, this government is certainly causing a lot of strife with its current Treat policy.
Cute, clever bird - and great docu/film. Sad history always repeats itself.. We are one people - would be so nice... And the scene with the hat says it all.
I hope the treaty isn't changed. How can they after so many years.
Love your seagull
Great shot at the right moment or as a famous photographer would say the decisive moment.
Awesome photo. Made me smile! Yes, sadly much of the world seems to be in disarray right now.
Fun photos! I lived near the Atlantic Ocean most of my life and loved seeing and hearing seagulls. Now I'm living inear the Rocky Mountains and don't see them any longer.
That is a clever shot with the gull on the sign.
Sorry about your political troubles, we are having them as well.
You have excellent timing.
Worth a Thousand Words
That bird seems to be bold!
Good capture.
