Seagulls certainly are a crafty bird. They kind of have to be when they live amongst so many people and have to swipe a morsel to eat now and then. Take a look at the happy fellow above. Of course, by “happy fellow” we’re referring to the bird, not the man who just lost his ice cream cone.
Call us crazy, but it almost looks like the seagull is smiling, doesn’t it? Then again, you’d be smiling too if you just scored a free ice cream cone. Leave a comment with your best caption to this photo. We’ll choose our favorite, plus another caption at random, and each will win some free Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
Our caption winner last month was Amber S, who said this about the cat napping on top of the ice cream freezer: “Just a quick catnap and then I’ll go back to figuring out how to open this thing.” Marie was the winner of our randomly selected caption. Both will receive some free Turkey Hill Ice Cream. Congrats!
Speaking of winners, our 12 Days of Ice Cream winners have been chosen, and the prizes go to: Sharon (Day 1 – ice cream sandwich soap), Linda (Day 2 – ice cream trinket box), Dave (Day 3 – vintage ice cream scoop), MaryBeth (Day 4 – Turkey Hill beanie hat), Christine (Day 5 – ice cream sandwich pillow), Patricia (Day 6 – Turkey Hill camo ball cap), Andrea (Day 7 – vintage ice cream bowls), Lisa (Day 8 – ice cream sundae party kit), Diane (Day 9 – topping chopper), Sue (Day 10 – ice cream sundae candle), Janine (Day 11 – ice cream cone cookies), Randy (Day 12 – Turkey Hill sports pack).
Congrats to our winners and thanks to everyone for making this year’s 12 Days of Ice Cream celebration one of the best ever!
If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
“You did say you were done with this, right?”
Congratulations to the winners! Happy New Year to all!
“It’s Turkey Hill! You should have been holding on a lot tighter … or eating faster!”
“He doesn’t need the calories, anyway!”

Stealth “Turkey Hill Ice Cream” Bomber!
Hey I was eating Turkey Hill, not Seagull Hill. Give me that back!

A cone in the beak is worth 2 in the bush
I just scored some Turkey Hill Raspberry Cream Swirl..cha-ching!
Congratulations to all the winners! And Thank You, TH, for the fun 12 Days! ~ HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! ~~ xoxo
I can tell he’s an Eagles fan so I got him right where it hurt…taking his Turkey Hill cone! I’ll bet he squawked about it to his friends!
Yummy ice cream has got to be eaten faster than your lickin’
Well, it’s better than “dropping” in on you!!!
Sea you later, you’ve been gulled!
Darn my aim is good!
everybody knows when Turkey Hill ice cream is around!!!
There’s enough here to share – NOT!!
One cool bird
That kind soul just gave it to me, and I’am sticking to my story
Hey,I wasn’t done! I would have given you the cone, once I finished the TH ice cream, if you waited.
Beaks are made for stealing!
Cone – What Cone? …So I Have a Long Beak !
(haha) . look at the man’s hand, it’s still in a holding an
ice cream cone mode. Very funny photo. Happy New Year All !!!
Better get out of here quickly. He looks mad!!
FLY,FLY AWAY
This ice cream is for the birds, you should be eating Turkey Hill.
I just knew the picking would be sweeter on Turkey Hill .
My turn!
Darn I thought it was Turkey Hill but it’s only that darn boardwalk soft serve!
My tern to have some Turkey Hill!
The conehead scores again!
Yeeesss! That’s the third clean snatch today!
For once I finally got a TH ice cream cone, but the guy didn’t leave me very much.
Officer it is the bird with the chocolate all over it’s beak
Ha, he didn’t even see me coming!
Hey, thanks for the ice cream. Gotta fly!
“Give me that you crazy tourist, no eating while crossing the street!”
What an amazing thief!
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
No one (or bird) can resist TH and the bird seems to appreciate it more than the guy.
Your wife told me to make sure you stick to your diet!
I may be a cone-head, but you’re cone-less!
“Now ya see it, now ya don’t!”
Congrats to all the winners! For the rest of us, better luck next year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
“And I thought I had a tight squeeze on that cone!”
Congratulations to the 12 winners. Happy New Year to everyone!
“Come back here with my ice cream cone.” “Fly away and get your own ice cream cone.”
I actually saw a seagull swoop down and scoop up an ice cream cone that someone dropped on the boardwalk. Was amazed that he could get almost the entire thing down in one gulp!! Guess he didn’t care what flavor it was!!! Haha!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations to all the winners!!!
…you dirty bird, give me back my ice cream (please &
thank YOU). ha-ha!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AT TURKEY HILL!!
Wow—-look at all these people eating Turkey Hill ice cream cones!!!! I can get my fill here. Can’t wait. Hope they all have different TH flavors, then I can have a little of each flavor. They will never know what happened. Here I come—Yum, Yum, Yum!!!! Happy Days are here again!!!

“Come fly away, come fly, come fly, come fly…..mmmmm”
Its just my long beak….I didn’t steal it.
And the winner is—–the Reboboth Beach sea gull!
first let me say congrats to the winners, but we are all winners because we eat turkey hill
and now for my caption:
“here buddy, let me take this from you so you don’t get messed with it”
This is not my favorite Turkey Hill flavor, but I really do like these sugar cones!
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Happy New Year, everyone! Best wishes and good health to all!
Congrats to the winners, hope I make that list some day. Caption: didn’t think I’d do it , did ya.
Congratulations to the 12 Days winners.
Caption: Another clean get-away!!!!!
birdies go crazy over Turkey Hill ice cream
We all get swooped up in the great taste of Turkey Hill ice cream!
Oh yes, sardine and anchovy swirl–my favorite!
This cone is the exact same shape as my beak!! a perfect fit…made for me obviously
“The early bird may get the worm but this smart bird gets the Turkey Hill!”
I got to find a place to fill this back up.
“And I could have had a V-8!”
sea gull: I sure hope somebody gets a shot of me!
man: And, I hope somebody gets a shot “at” him, too!
Once again, the food bandit attempts an ice cream heist and succeeds at flying the (s)coop !
I prefer not eating locally. And, I feel my diet has really improved-especially in taste- since I started eating on the fly!
That’s one clean swoop for a scoop.
I can’t wait to share the scoop (double entendre) with my friends.
Let the early bird have the worm, I waited for turkey hill!
Okay! Okay! You made your point! I won’t sneak anymore ice cream!
Bye Bye Birdie
By gully it’s my lucky day.
Talk about easy pickins.
Please, please, work as a muzzle!
