Found this little fella in our garden in Hove and unsure how to help it. I’ve tried calling local wildlife rescue firms Rogers and Seahaven but haven’t been able to get through to anyone. I’ve built it a nest in a flowerpot which he seemed to like and tried feeding it a crushed snail but he wasn’t partial.


Anyone have any ideas who else to call locally?

Cheers!

This happened to me many years ago. I called the RSPB who, after a few hours, found someone for me to take the bird to. Turned out the bird was dehydrated and weak. A day or two of being cared for he/she was fine and set free.

I have to say, I'm amazed you didn't eat it on a bed of caramelised red onion chutney and crispy seaweed

I probably did, I have always had my suspicion about the game they serve in 1901.

You need to eat the crushed snail and then regurgitate it.....either that or if near the seaside a packet of chips

From experience I’d say put it somewhere where a fecking magpie can’t peck lumps out of it. ********, I hate magpies

Register it for a free shirt before its seventh birthday?

If you drive, you can take it to Rogers and he'll assist. He rarely answers the phone as he's too busy.

Alternatively, post it on the "Brighton & Hove Gull, Pigeon and wildlife lovers" Facebook group and someone will collect it and take it to Roger.

A bit like getting a Covid test - maybe you just need to stick in a box and drive it 200 miles to another RSPCA or RSPB place?

Train it, obviously. It could carry out basic tasks for you. And teach it everything you know about life.

Is this a seagull as i thought they bred earlier in the year , me thinks its a pigeon. Either way Rogers is possibly best bet, in downs valley road woodingdean. As said previously take it and leave it by the gate as they are always working there.

Are you drunk? It's clearly a mouldy conker
