Baby seagull outside the house

[kernow]

Must have fallen down from the roof, it doesn't look injured at all. Put some bread out for it and water, and eventually its mother or some other seagull came down and ate all the bread.

Don't really want it to become cat food tonight, but I've phoned all the bird rescue places, RSPCA and PB aren't interested, they just said put it up on a flat roof (the same roof it fell off as if its the wrong one it might get pecked to death by the 'wrong' seagulls), but living in a terraced house and having no massive ladder, its impossible to get it up on the roof.

poor fella.

I might just put a sign outside 'free seagull'

Don't know what else to do to be honest.

[speedlolita]

Adopt it!

[Colin]

Write TomTom or Garmin on it's chest, someone will soon nick it.

[vanpeebles]

Put it in a box with an old blanket and train it as a guard seagull.

[kernow]

Its gonna be cat food in about 10 hours

Surprised to be honest how many bird places in Devon just aren't interested.

[vanpeebles]

To be fair it's not like there is a shortage of seagulls.

[abigsmurf]

putting it back in the nest could result in the seagull abandoning the nest (and the other babies). If you do it, make sure the mother isn't around

[merf]

I think its a sign of impending doom and bodes badly for england tomorrow against whichever country that didn't exist 10yrs ago it is we are playing

[J0e Musashi]

Don't you have an air rifle?

[abigsmurf]

Remember, Seagulls fly out to sea to die. Do you have a very big catapult?

To be honest, you could try nursing it to adulthood but it would require a lot of care and its survival chances would be slim.

I'd go for the adoption route and see if you could raise it until it can fend for itself. Like Smurfy said, slim chances of survival, but it's almost certainly screwed if you leave it to fend for itself so why not give it a go?

[vanpeebles]

You can call it Steven Seagull.

[noobish hat]

Or Jonathan Livingston

[kernow]

I have nowhere to put it, no shed or anything, its certainly not coming inside.

Bah. why does it have to be my front garden.
