I just found a baby two days ago on my balcony in Germany and I observed whether his mother will pay a visit but haven´t seen any adult bird coming so I started feeding it and provide water. He (or she) is still quite fluffy with the down, without the real feathers so I brought him in a box inside the apartment over the night coz it was really stormy and the nights get rather cold. So far I give him canned sardines as I am not cooking much at home and I guess I^ll have to raise him until he´s able to take off the balcony:)
That was a trip down memory lane for me..... I raised a seagull when I was 14 years old. He slept inside at night, but during the day he would free range in the yard with my mom's cats. They played tag, and napped together. Seagull is very fun loving. He would come running when I whistled, and he'd laugh! He was also scrappy. He'd chase dogs out of the yard.
That's a cute story. I once tried to raise a seagull baby myself when I was 11 years old. Long story short, I picked up the seagull chick at a parkinglot, forgot to feed it and didn't do proper research. My little seagull chick survived until the night, and silently passed away. It was entirely my fault, and I still remember the event after 12 years.🥺 I don't wanna go into details but...if you're a child and want to keep a pet...DO YOUR RESEARCH!! It's easier nowdays than it was back in 2008...
I just love this little squeaker. The way he ate you could tell he wanted to live and thrive. Thank you to all you animal lovers out there that help animals and give them a chance at life. All lives matter.
My first foster was a sea gull chick that had fallen from the nest. I see sea gulls as survivalists and not scavengers, and yes, they are cute and they all have personalities.
Very sweet and heartwarming video. It was undoubtedly difficult after watching the growth to let the seagull go, but they did the right thing. I hope the adjustment was smooth and that the seagull has found many wonderful friends and a paradise beach to enjoy each and every day :) Thanks for posting!
SUPRISE! I am the funniest YTer evah!!!! Just kidding, it was no surprise. Everybody knew already. HAHAHHAHA!!!! That was an amazing joke (it was real talk though). WAWAWAWAWA!!!! Good afternoon, dear ash
I can imagine it is very easy to become attached to these fluffy, sweet babies. But the most loving act of this foster mom was raising this baby to go back to the wild. And that was one cute baby! Good job! ~❣️
This is like the book The Story of A Seagull and The Cat Who Taught Her To Fly, from which they did the wonderful movie Lucky and Zorba. If you haven’t watched it or read the book do it! You won’t regret it, it’s deeply moving.
Without the parents who teach them to find food, it's going to be tough, everywhere it goes will be hostillity towards it, it will be attacked and attacked, because terriorty is everything. Unless it finds a group of fledglings to hang out with it may make it, chances are it will ponce about on the ground wandering around and mr fox will have it. That is the likelyhood. Although they did the only thing they could, what they don't realise seagulls are not great at landing and take a while to learn that skill, which causes them to wander around ground level at night, unaware of the danger. It's chances are pretty slim. I have saved quite a few and some I have just left to the fox, especially if the parents are watching you. Every now and again I feel pity and bring one in. Yeah you can feed them, protect them and when they are ready to fly off, that is when it counts, but to be honest, seagull chicks are pretty dumb when it comes to their safety and I have seen plenty who can fly, but can't land properly and then spend most of their time, wandering around on the ground and then night time comes and you can hear their little screech has the badger or fox grabs them. Sad, you can only do so much.
@@1105pitbull They screech when you pick them up to, does that make you feel better? Maybe the fox just took it home to keep it safe, you can always believe that, I suppose.
Did this with a young crow I found while walking my dog once. It was all wet and had a small puncture wound in it's breast. I bathed it and medicated the injury. It hung around for two months until it fledged and flew away. Came back a few days later, then disappeared for good. Loved scrambled eggs and crickets. It was cool having a crow fly down from a tree and land on my head. I miss him/her. I called it Lil Chicken.
Lucky bird! Where I come from, people usually think of seagulls as a nuisance! I'm glad it got lost in a place where people were glad to see a seagull!
@@graemeparrington2841 OK. Sorry. I think they are lovely. Little buggers but lovely. They've got their own unique personalities and the lengths they go to bring up their young is astounding. The sound of them is British seaside to me.
I love seagulls I think they are adorable and sweet but sadly some people think they are annoying like pigeons but people don’t see the potential they have in them :}
Im suprised that he managed to fly, they usually start to play fly when they watch their parents fly. So its cool to see that he only needed to watch the other nearby adults fly to get inspired
Quite the awesome, stunning majesty of nature, captured around 02.10 / 02.18. Thank you for sharing 🙏😷 Edit : and for being such planet friendly couple, you both...💐From London 🙏
Gulls are like feathered roaches. I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow managed to survive or even thrive in a desert environment despite being a sea bird. Or even a radioactive toxic environment. Being able to thrive on almost any food source is one of the most effective evolutionary traits.
