Another glorious release was done this morning of 19 babies. It didn't take long for them to find a local flock to join. We still have the longer term ones and the disabled ones left, so there's plenty left to do. It's been an exhausting and expensive summer with emergency measures needed to cope with the heat. All support is much appreciated.https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/summergulls2026?utm_medium=CA&utm_source=CL&fbclid=IwdGRjcAUI80F0ZGNwBQVOX2NsY2sFBU5XcGRvZgVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR5F_7UbFyy660BL-wN8PP_E9VMMuUYtdNPnmy5rAWiiqBdyTWCzgWdl6GQjYw_aem_7a470uqwrefLbU2VW_4doA

From misery to happiness. After his rescue by Wildlife Matters and his hooks being removed, Captain is enjoying some good food and rehab with Bird Aid. If there are no ongoing issues, he can be released soon, and he will hopefully have better luck in the future.

Whatever the weather, bath time always follows after a feed. At Bird Aid we like to see busy, active birds.

These best friends are finally able to go into the main prerelease aviary. The largest came in with pox and has been on his own for a month. With a large lump on his lower beak, he was a risk to others of cross contamination, and if put with other birds, they would have pecked at the lump (thinking it was food). The smaller one was a very late baby who was too small to join another group. We managed to get them familiar with each other, and once we knew they got along, they progressed to a small enclosure together. Now that so many babies have been released, and the pox has gone, they can enjoy the new space and get strong enough for release. A lot of birds just need time, good food and the right conditions to thrive. A 6 week stay is usual and this is why raising gulls is so expensive. We do not compromise on quality of food or living space. They deserve the best start as life is so tough in the wild. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/summergulls2026?utm_medium=CA&utm_source=CL

Another 49 Gulls were released this week on 2 separate days. Thanks go to Moe, Jo and Sam. Sam is so caring and always goes the extra mile to make sure the birds are safe. He patrols the beach to make sure there is no dangerous fishing debris then, when the birds are released, he makes sure they all get fed and integrate with the local adults. It was quiet yesterday so we put more food out then some squealed and a squadron of adults appeared from along the coast. The babies were so happy to see them and join the flock. We are all exhausted but the season is not over yet. We still have lots of birds that are not yet ready for release and the thin ones who are struggling in the wild are still being brought in. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/summergulls2026?utm_medium=CA&utm_source=CL&fbclid=IwdGRjcAT2JPJ0ZGNwBOL3-HRkY3AE2n-BdGRjcATPM_hjbGNrBM8z8mV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHvIZ16uHa4xe_07SPBlZ9NSgenMr8oNdr0j9fwOvnCmHlNooKek-jTPJbs9d_aem_nmiy_9IfXRfqJyKtbFfymQ

Some parents refuse to discipline their kids. Such unruly behaviour even at Bird Aid.
