Following an attempt to save a baby seagull from a slow painful death, I found Alex and his bird and wildlife sanctuary in West Cork, Ireland.

The baby gull had an extremely badly broken wing, and although locals told me to put her somewhere I couldn't see her and just let nature take its course, I couldn't just walk away knowing she wasn't going to survive. I spent 1 hour holding her wrapped tightly in a towel and calling everyone I thought could help. Most said they couldn't and I was given different numbers to try.

Just when I thought I was at the end of the road, a man called Alex picked up and said he would take the injured bird but he had no transport. So I made the decision to do the 4.5 hour one way trip to try and save her life.

We drove almost non-stop and the whole time I prayed the gull would survive the trip. And she did!

She had to have the wing removed but is doing well and will now live with Alex and the rest of his birds and animals where she will be taken care of for the rest of her life. It's not the life she had set out to live, nor the other animals, but if Alex did not provide homes and food and shelter and also veterinary care for these animals, they would have suffered alot more than the initially did before he took them in.
