Seagulls 2013 - How we rescued a baby seagull

Videoed last summer (2013) We nurtured a baby seagull that had fallen out of it's nest on our neighbour's roof. We watered and fed it for a few weeks until it finally fledged.

I rescued a baby seagull with deformed wings. He lived with me for two years before he was killed by someone's dog. I am still shattered. He was amazing.

Sounds like you don't keep your animals/pets safe ?? I'm wrong !!!

[@pigeonlove]

How did you know it was male?

[@dean9235]

Sorry. X

[@gullwingstorm857]

@@joeherrera3345 Yep, you're wrong. You don't know the details.

[@bluejeans1431]

Sorry about your little seagull. That's so sad, at least you helped the best you could, not many would do that. X

[@mpazs]

Thanks for helping out the little one, so glad there are people like you.

[@rebelruth9582]

So many people hate them. They are just trying to get by. All Gods creatures.

[@dean9235]

Im so glad you guys helped the little guy out, here in Ontario, Canada, we get many seagul's, sometimes they nest inside the hollow concrete light/power poles around town where i live and hearing their cheeps I hope they grow up to be magnificent birds. For some reason they've seem to poop on us and cars less.... unlike Canadian Geese, they poop everywhere every summer and fall.

[@nekomasteryoutube3232]

Matt Brine I really like seagul's, some even where summer friend to me... a few times Marshmellow came back to me (Named because of their black and white feathers that look like a roasted marshmellow)... they really like fries and ice cream.

Good on ya! I did the same for a baby magpie.

[@petesmoth6320]

God bless you x

[@guntherandratschke8072]

nice Story, I wish I would be rescued like that!!

[@AzureOtsu]

what did you use to edit this video

[@AndreaSerraIT77]

Very nice. Is the adult male bigger than the adult female?

[@misterfaosfx]

Ha I cried. This was too much for me.

[@huntleym]

Just a short video from last summer.

[@aburaeese]

I would have called it Steven.

[@mikey187lfc]

hi. We have just rescued a bird from my sister's back yard as the cats were swarming. we let it sleep in the bathroom last night and going to take it back to the yard today in the hope it's mum hasn't abandoned it. it's looks a similar age to the one in your video, so was asking how long you cared for it for before it was able to fly? We want it to have the best chance possible to survive. Thanks

[@jimmystancliff2843]

What you did for that baby enter her mother returned good man and her good man dude doubt that baby out good man

[@martinjeffery3590]

It would be "parent ,parent" where are you as both parents feed and raise them

[@charleneloader1150]

Am hand rearing a baby seagull atm am soo worried as am not gonna be able to teach it how to fly I dont no what to doo

[@sarahgarden1594]

I'm keeping an eye on a lame seagull with a deformed leg, or rather just the joint. I'm gonna try fishfinger on string today! Took him to the vet on Monday where at least it was established he needed no medical treatment. So eager for him to fledge so he can stay close to family, be under the instruction of his parents and to be a wild bird. If he goes to the sanctuary (which is only a few miles away, it would remain to be seen if he could ever be released into the wild. Will see how things pan out. He's safe from predators by night as a wooden door locks him in this yard he calls home at the moment, and only someone his size can squeeze under that door (I've seen him go under it)

[@martinjeffery3590]

throw it off a cliff

[@MrFouky]

Cool..!

[@Admiralhall2000]

that will be the father doing the feeding

[@huntleym]

Don't worry, it will fly (fledge) when nature decrees its ready. You don't need to do anthing.

[@sarahgarden1594]

What about a lame young seagull who hasn't yet learned to fly? I am keeping an eye on him (at the behest of the RSPCA) and was going to try fishfinger on string today. P.S. I'll make sure he doesn't gulp any string!

[@beitos44]

@@sarahgarden1594 Generally, it's okay just to leave the young seagull. They intentionally leave their nest after a few weeks, and intentionally strolls around on the ground. The mother/parents usually check out for them. After about 5 weeks from having stepped outside of the egg (I'm not native English speaking), they are ready to fly but still prefer to mostly just stay on the ground.

[@XDiZzYX911]

Not much of a rescue you could of put it back in the nest

[@huntleym]

XDiZzYX911 Any suggestions as to how we could get back onto the roof ? Particularly as we are both in our 80's

[@zacharycat]

As long as it has food and is safe its enough, the mother will find it.
