We raised a baby common gull chick, back in 1986. We looked after it for 6 weeks until it eventually flew off an left us. It treated the whole garden as the nest territory and wouldn't allow any other gulls or large birds into it, attacking any who tried. It loved it when somebody was doing gardening, especially digging, as it meant free bugs & worms.

What do they smell like? We save rock doves and they smell good. Have also saved a few crows although they smell like a burnt tire dump.

They don’t smell to bad, because they are always splashing around in water it keeps them clean

Good question. I can’t remember exactly now but didn’t take long. Just a few weeks

Has it becomes an adult now? Would he/she still come back to your house?

How often does he eat? I’ve just found one and he likes sardines, indeed. But how often shoud I feed him?

Some times that’s the only option as with a broken wing it can never be released back in to the wild again as it won’t survive

@hitlercat7341

You need to fold the wing back up to it's non flight position and then gently wrap cause around bird so wing can heal. With any luck the bird might be ok

So did it fly away or stay with you very big chance of getting killed hand reared from a baby

If hand reared in the right way then animals can be realised into the wild with much more success. The key is to not getting to close to them and not to treat them like pets. You don’t want them tame towards humans

You aren't teaching the bird either of those things, it is in their nature, they learn it by instinct, damn I'm so tired of the word "teach".
