Gull chicks gullore at the GSPCA – what to do if you find a baby bird

Submitted by Steve on 14:06, 12th Jul, 2024 | 0

 

At the GSPCA we are extremely busy with the daily arrival of baby birds needing hand rearing that have been found or rescued, but for us we currently have more gull chicks at the same time than any of the team can recall.

Currently at the GSPCA we have 5 very young gull chicks that are being hand reared which have been displaced from their parents, but we would always recommend that chicks are left where possibly with their parents and finding a safe place near the nest if they are fledging.
