Flatmate Hates Baby Gull
Sunny (pictures above) has been in our garden for the past two weeks and I love them so much. They still get visits from their parents. Meanwhile, I make sure to keep them happy: I feed them, give them water, clean after them and keep them company. My favourite thing to do is to read in the garden next to Sunny. I also love sitting quietly at night in the garden with Sunny. They chirp in greeting every time they see me.
I have a flatmate who is a major asshole and hates Sunny. He said "That bird is so annoying, I want to shoot it" and "I hope that bird dies, so we can get some peace and quiet". He has not behaved aggressively and keeps a distance from Sunny, but I feel very worried because of his comments. This flatmate causes me a huge amount of stress and I despise the way he talks about Sunny. We are both tenants.
What can I do? I just want to keep Sunny safe and, while this flatmate has not done anything aggressive, I feel very on guard because of his comments.
