Greedy Sea Gulls Get Food Poisoning!
Like this fellow, we have a number of sea gulls brought in to South Essex Wildlife Hospital appearing to be very ill and lifeless after catching botchulism. Luckily this is treatable. With our help, some care and attention and a lot of water to flush out the bird's system the birds often get better within a number of days and are ready to be released back into the wild, hopefully being a little more cautious in what they choose for dinner!
If you see any sea gulls looking sickly, please call us on 01375 893893 for advice or to bring the gull in to the hospital for treatment.
