Her mum on the chimney watching and you can almost hear her tutting saying
‘don’t go so close to the edge I m not telling you again’

Well this morning at 4 am I heard the familiar squeak squeak of a baby seagull I thought oh dear a baby s on the flat roof again, I hope the mum knows and I went back to sleep when I got up at 7 I could still hear a muffled squeak and opened the chimney trap door and could see a very very young seagull on the little ledge above… so arm in and popped her out into the bedroom Shes much smaller than Stephen and I was really worried she wouldn’t be old enough to feed herself I put her in the garden with some sardines and water and mum was circling around above screening at me I was hoping she’d come down and get her or at least feed her
When I came back from work just now she was making a big old racket and all the sardines had gone so I thought either mums been down or she is able to feed herself
I put some more water and sardines out and waited… she was making a lot of noise, suddenly it went quiet I had a peep and she was eating away at the sardines
With a bit of luck she ll stay with me and the sardines until she can fly away in about 8 weeks time
Anyway meet Sybil
Could it be Stephens offspring ?
Good luck Sybil. Looks like you may be saving the sardines till next year BlueBelle. Another successful foster mothering complete. 
Yesterday Sybil ( or sibling) just walked down the path and onto the street and like Forest Gump kept on going She didn’t come back for any food last night or this morning I thought she had lost her way
This afternoon I have heard her calling nearby I ve been out two or three times looking up and down the street to no avail and just now I heard her again and looked up
I m 100% certain this is her on my roof
You'll be getting reviews on trip advisor soon, BlueBelle.
Child friendly, with a minding service, good wholesome meals, and a paddling pool.
aww isn't she lovely
A girls got to keep her feet cool in this weather
Your local Coop will be wondering about your own diet, Bluebell! Or do you say each time you go in ‘Just buying some more sardines for my pet seagull!’ 
I thought of today, as we were at a stately home where the car park was full of teenage rooks and crows, half feathered and half fluff, begging for food from visitors. Also, a male peacock with no tail feathers. It was all action there, I can tell you!
Lovely photos of lucky Sybil. Hope she manages to keep out of harms way until she is able to fly. You are doing a great job BlueBelle. 
I've sent cake for Sybil, as there are no crab sandwiche emojis
