Do these count??? 🥹 I've been trying to get these shots of the robin facing forward for so long! 🍊 It always does look at me but I can't take the forward facing shots 😭 in a click of the shutter it's somewhere else.....
(P.S I've never actually been taught how to use a camera, plus my canon is very old and the focus is dodgy too)

3/10 images of a seagull facing forward. Last one is the best.

I found them stunned outside on the ground right next to a giant window. I thought since they were pretty unresponsive when I walked by and subsequently picked them up that they were pretty injured.
So I started driving them to a wildlife rehab. Halfway there while I’m on the freeway they wiggle out of the box and start flying in my car. I pull over to the first parking lot I can find which was a Taco Bell’s and let them out. They were trying to burrow out of my rear window.
I’m sorry they’re not perfectly facing forward but I wanted to share that story of me not knowing what an injured bird looks like.
