So it begins…Gull chick’s are hatching…it’s warm and they move around and fall of the roof. It gets a bit gull mad at this time of year!
Gull chick’s can not cope on own and parents can not get them back to safety but are very protective.
If possible the best outcome is to put back on the nest or at least get them higher up so safer from predators but parents can get to them.
If this isn’t possible but they are in a safe area the parents will come and feed till they are old enough but this is a few weeks .
If need advise or need us to help one please call or go to our website for advice.
This little one is the first (of many) that arrived today .
The rehabilitation of these takes months. I do the chick stage…feeding and care. Then as secondary feathers come through they go to Claires pen and then when old enough lose in her garden so they can safety learn to fly and then leave. (Often returning )
This takes huge amounts of time, food and cleaning (they are messy beasts!! )Please support us if you can by visiting our donations page.
Thank you,
Gill
