We found him!!

Wonderful news! That sounds like the basis for a good children's story. (Minus all the terror and such...)

Children's fairy tales should be full of terrifying images.

I cannot believe it, one day after being picked up by a seagull and carried out of the garden, I come home from putting up missing pet posters to find Harry on my garden path! Witnesses literally saw him get picked up, my husband and I saw the bird carrying him, we turned the garden upside down hoping we were wrong but he was definitely taken. I get home today and he's back!! It was cold and rainy last night, yet here he is, happily stomping around his (sealed!) enclosure.

To me, that's a miracle. I'm absolutely stunned! Thanks to everyone for your kind words, I never thought I'd see him again, but here he is!

I'm so glad he's okay, and I still can't believe a seagull could pick him up!

I am so happy that he is back home safe and sound. It is amazing that he found his way back home.

that's amazing the tortoise wanted to get home and he did I say you should pat yourself on your back cease this means the tortoise likes his enclosure and likes you as he could have easily walked away congrats

Man!!! I would have never thought a sea gull would carry away a tortoise! This is a crazy story! I wonder how far your tortoise was carried!? I'm amazed he's home! Incredible.

A few years ago sea gulls attacked us while we were picnicking in the off season in Maine. I have a photo of one dive bombing me as I scream and duck. We had to finish our sandwiches in the car, while the seagulls PECKED THE ROOF OF THE CAR and stared at us through the windshield. It was a scene from "The Birds." If I can find the seagull attack photos, I'll post them.
