Aloha Alloa

After a nice warm night in a heated box at 85F the young Gulliver was ready for breakfast ! It's eyes were open and although still unsteady on it's feet, it had a go at eating some chick starter that I prepared. It kept aiming at my pink fingers, since this is what they do to their Mothers red spot on their beak in order to get them to open up and deliver the regurgitated food ! I had no choice but to cover all my fingers in messy chick starter food, so he would get fed regardless ! The heated box had given him new life and a good chance of survival. Simon from the Scottish SPCA arrived this afternoon and was pleased to see the gull chick in such good form, he will now go to their new care centre in Alloa where they have excellent facilities for the care of wildlife. Gulliver pushed himself onto his back several times but managed to right himself again, enclosed pics and video clip. With the late cold spring it appears the seagulls are nesting later this year. Aloha Alloa Gulliver !
