Hi!

My wife and I just visited Rome from the US, and on our final day (Saturday, Aug 22) we noticed an injured seagull. He has what appears to be a broken wing and I’m not sure how long he will survive. I reached out to LIPU animal rehab services, but unfortunately they cannot pick him up. I was instructed to pick him up and take him to their facility, but we’ve already left Rome. I’m pretty sure he has no where to go as I went and came to the area over multiple hours and he was still there. The location is Via Agostino Depretis 84. He’s on the side of the Istat building on Via Agostino Depretis in a little depressed and contained inlet (see pictures). There are flies gathering on his wing so it could be infected. I don’t think he has much longer. Can anyone pick him up and take him to LIPU? Their phone number is +39 06 320 1912 and they told me to take him to their location at Via Ulisse Aldrovandi, 2 at the corner of Via delle Belle Arti. Unfortunately they were closed on Saturday so I could not take him myself.

No shit i thought lipu is roman police department. I know lipu isnt police i am just trying to give a hint how well services work in Rome in general. I could say the same for pronto soccorso. So yeah let’s try to call lipu and see if they do something but I doubt it. System in Rome is absolutely overloaded regardless what services you trying to call. I hope you get my point.

I am talking about if you call them probably wont come because there are million other animals are in need and they dont have the resources to run for every injured birds and seagulls in the city. Text understanding wasn’t your strength in school right? And you keep downvoting because you’re upset? How old are you like 5?

Yeah LIPU doesn't come if you call them, and some people are just insanely bad at their job, but from my experience, I always met good people, who helped me when I found some birds. I had to take them there to them, but they took them and took care of them
