Baby seagull found in a highly trafficated area. Please help (1 Viewer)

Hi!

When exiting the train this morning, I came across this baby seagull (alone, fully feathered, unable to fly, no injuries) right next to the main entrance of the train station and it seemed terrified. Within ten minutes, I had to warn atleast five people almost stepping on it so I couldn't leave it alone. Because of seagull mom watching over it, I was afraid to move it to a safer spot as again, I know nothing about birds territory. Right now (5 hours later) its very late and quiet so poor fella is safe but within a few hours this place will be packed and I'm almost certain it will get run over by some guy with a travel bag. Any ideas on what to do? I find it strange that seagull mom is not moving it to a safer spot. Oh yeah, I couldn't seem to locate the nest.

I simply cannot sleep because of this guys. Help is much appreciated.

Hi wadabang and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

We have some guidelines for you about baby and injured birds, here. I hope you find them useful.

Please let us know how you get on.

Best option would be to ask the station staff to put up a temporary fence around the chick; give it at least 3 or 4 metres radius of space, if possible.
