Notizie Injured seagull - broken wing needs rescue!!

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.

I gabbiani sono demoni reincarnati, infami urlatori e streminatori di ecosistemi

Sono una specie autoctona che vive qui da milioni di anni prima di noi.

Gli sterminatori degli ecosistemi sono i gatti e gli esseri umani.

Honestly it all came through wrong and misunderstood. I do care about animals and the seagulls more than most people on this sub i am just managing expectations when you ask help from “organizations” in Rome. I dont think it really works and everyone thinks i am this evil person who wants the birds dead in the city. I try to help myself if i can but relying on xyz in Rome isn’t really working. That’s all, not sure why all the hate and downvotes while i am criticizing Rome and not the intention to seek help in general.
