Poor gull, hope it hasn't got a pain. I always feel for ill or injured animals. No one they can ask for help, no doctor, no hospital, no relatives or neighbours to take care of them. They must carry on or die. A few years ago, we had a robin with one leg among our balcony visitors. To see it standing on its only leg was really heartbreaking. After some weeks it disappeared...
