Injured gull (1 Viewer)

Hello friends. I found an injured gull with a twisted wing. It appears the poor thing was hit by a car. I found it on the sidewalk, immobile but alive. Upon bringing it home, I disinfected and wrapped the bird up to limit its movement.

My knowledge on bird anatomy is fairly limited, which leads me to an important question.

I noticed what seemed like a broken bone near the affected wing. I know birds have external wing bones so I might be confused here.

Does this gull have a chance at recovering if I give it a comfortable place until it does or are things looking bad?

Thank you for your time.

Sorry, it has a broken wing, with the bone sticking out: chances of survival = 0. It'll be in severe pain. Euthenasia is the only option, sad to say - take it to a vet as soon as possible.



Welcome to Birdforum, even if it is under such distressing circumstances

Yep echo the sentiments of Nutcracker, it needs euthanizing asap. It will be in agony.

Thank you both for your responses. Sadly, I woke up this morning to find it had passed. I gave it a proper burial. I find a bit of comfort in knowing it didn't die in the street.
