    We raised a baby common gull chick, back in 1986. We looked after it for 6 weeks until it eventually flew off an left us. It treated the whole garden as the nest territory and wouldn't allow any other gulls or large birds into it, attacking any who tried.
    It loved it when somebody was doing gardening, especially digging, as it meant free bugs & worms.

    Hello.
    Your video is wonderful. A lot of tenderness, softness, kindness irradiates from it.
    Did you ever pet/touch or did you prefer to not touch him?
    What happened when he/she flew away? He never come back?
    Hope that guy is still alive and made a family on his own.
    Thank you a lot for that very sweet images.
    Back in 1988 something like that, I raised a blackbird. It was tamed and once able to fly, the night he would leave on his own into the trees and next morning we would call him, he would answer back and flew to our shoulders and we spent the rest of the day together, until the night.
    Quite an experience.
    Thanks again. :)

      Some times that’s the only option as with a broken wing it can never be released back in to the wild again as it won’t survive

      You need to fold the wing back up to it's non flight position and then gently wrap cause around bird so wing can heal.
      With any luck the bird might be ok

    • @mothballjim
      @mothballjim  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If hand reared in the right way then animals can be realised into the wild with much more success. The key is to not getting to close to them and not to treat them like pets. You don’t want them tame towards humans
