This is a cute story that definitely has a unique twist of making the sea gull in question green for whatever reason. And I like the fact that even though Jake doesn't know how to fly the others don't snub him but work together to help him out even through hidden means.

It is interesting the bird has a stubbornness that allows him to get places and the mindset to persevere as long as he isn't flying. Makes you wonder how he was raised or where he got his lack of confidence from.
