Woman who nurses injured seagulls says she won't stop despite warning

A woman says she won't stop saving seagulls, despite a complaint and council warning. April Lock claims to have saved close to 100 baby birds, a number including dozens of seagulls, after becoming aware of the number killed in her community each year.

April began nursing injured gulls back to health in around 2018, after seeing a large volume of squashed on the roads. She has since had to build multiple large pens in her garden for the birds to rest in. Once she has revived them, she releases them back into the wild.

Speaking to North Wales Live, April 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.
