OH dear, Gilbert the Gull has had his wings clipped.
The popular Torquay United mascot let his emotions fly away during United's defeat against Grimsby at Plainmoor on Saturday.
It led to a clash with fans and some choice words not befitting a friendly Gull being exchanged.
Now, following an investigation by Torquay United chief executive Andrew Candy, Gilbert has been reminded that 'he should be seen and not heard'.

....Whoever Gilbert the Gull is, he should be out of a job! What happened yesterday was absolutely disgraceful, thinking that his job is around the kids is an abomination.
Around five minutes after Grimsby scored their third, Gilbert came over to us and shouted "where's the drummer!?" We all thought he was having a laugh, but then he called us a bunch of "c***s and c**ks" and after a few words exchanged he waddled off back to the Family Stand. At the end of the game, Gilbert came over again and in front of us on the pitch, he gave the "come on then" body language towards us and wouldn't stop until hiding behind the stewards and again waddling off as we moved towards the exits.
