    Ça a été le cas d’environ 200 bébés goélands récemment nés sur le toit d’un bâtiment industriel, en banlieue de Toronto. 

    Le Toronto Wildlife Centre en a sauvés au moins 170 cette semaine. 


    Hundreds of ring-billed gulls had nested on the rooftop of an industrial building in Scarborough, raising many babies across the large expanse of concrete. With no shelter from the blazing sun and the temperature reaching over 30 degrees yesterday, the safe-haven for over 170 baby gulls became a scalding wasteland. Tiny little feet burned as the concrete heated to unbearable temperatures, forcing the babies who were too young to fly to do the only thing they could to escape – jump. Two-stories is a long way to fall for a little bird, and many injured themselves as they hit the gravel below. Fred witnessed this shocking sight, and he called TWC to help the babies he feared would die in the heat. The rescue team (along with two volunteers and an intern!) rushed to the site and worked hard to find and capture all the babies, placing the injured birds into separate boxes to be the first ones rushed to TWC for treatment. There were so many gulls that it took three vehicles to transport them all! Medical staff worked late into the evening to examine each bird and treat those who were injured from the fall or who had burns on their little feet. TWC’s staff member Sara returned to the site this morning to check for more survivors – and ten more babies arrived today! Once the roof fully cools and the injured have recovered, these baby ring-billed gulls will be returned to their parents. Currently, our resources are strained with this unexpected admission of over 170 additional patients, and we need your help! These baby gulls need many pounds of fresh/frozen lake smelt and dozens of eggs to eat each day. If you’re able to donate this food, please deliver it to TWC at 60 Carl Hall Road in Downsview Park (between 9am and 6pm). Online donations will also be gratefully received. Thanks for all your support!

    L’organisation rapporte qu’au moins 50 d’entre eux sont morts après leur chute de plusieurs mètres de hauteur.


    Happy first day of summer! #Didyouknow spring and summer is the busiest time of the year for TWC? From peregrine falcons to cedar waxwings, beavers to silver-haired bats, and Blanding’s turtles to even a green Anole all the way from Florida … TWC has admitted species of all kinds! This spring TWC rescued or admitted over 2,260 wild animals in need of help, and over 1,300 of them were baby animals! This includes over 70 baby squirrels, over 50 baby skunks, over 450 ducklings and over 170 baby gulls (brought in all at once) who jumped off a scalding hot roof. In this photo, rescue team’s Sarrah patiently captures and marks each baby gull’s foot to distinguish them from one another before release – and there are a lot of feet! TWC’s teams of staff, volunteers and interns work late into the night to make sure each baby is fed, warm, treated for injuries and housed in a clean, comfortable enclosure. Although spring has come to an end, TWC will continue to help many wild animals over the busy summer months! #summersolstice2018

    Rien que sur le toit de ce bâtiment, on compte au moins 4000 goélands, dont beaucoup se demandent encore où se trouve leur petit.
