Baby seagull
Thanks for answering my question the other day. I have one more that I hope you might know about.
This summer, I was looking after a baby seagull in my garden. I found him/her wandering in the traffic, partially feathered, so I picked it up and took it home.
I fed the gull and kept it safe while it finished growing its wings and learned to fly.
He/she now flies around and seems to be hanging out with the other gulls in the area and going off on its own for hours at a time.
However, in the evening, the gull still comes to my garden and squeaks and cheeps at me very loudly and persistently for food. So, I still give it cat food, fish, chicken bones and various kitchen scraps.
Do you know how long he/she will do this, before he/she goes off with her flockmates? Or do I have a friend for life now?
I have no intention of trying to keep the seagull as a pet, or tame it, or anything like that. Just want to make sure it’s okay.
Thanks for your help.
