Seagull-saving woman says she'll continue to save the birds despite getting council warning

An animal lover, who has saved dozens of seagulls, and estimates she has nursed more than 100 baby birds back to health, said she'll continue saving gulls despite getting a council warning. April Lock's passion for saving birds began four years when she was horrified at the sight of some squashed baby swans on the road.

Since that day she has been on a mission to help as many as she possibly can. She's even had to build several large pens in her garden to house all the birds before releasing them back into the wild.

Speaking to North Wales Live, she said: "When I noticed how many seagull chicks were abandoned and being squashed on the road, I spoke to different sanctuaries and vets but it didn't seem like anyone could help them. So I took things into my own hands and decided to rescue them.
