Parkwood Mall has also now put up signs to help protect the baby gulls from traffic.
The last couple of years have seen more and more gulls coming to Prince George and nesting in Parkwood Mall, but this year it has culminated in a dangerous situation for many young gulls.
“It's a very busy place and the gulls are not that smart this young. There's a lot less now but there was quite a few more babies on the ground, and they were getting in the way. People we’re running them over because they just they don't move that fast. They're unfamiliar with cars.” “They look like should be able to just take off because the babies are quite large, but they just haven't figured it out yet. They just need a little bit of time. A little bit of patience.”
She added that she has a couple of volunteers who are driving through the mall trying spot any injured birds and noted that employees of the mall have been bringing gulls to the rescue as well. “They're not going to be there all summer. The babies fledge at about five to six weeks old. That is when they decide to leave the nest and then it's a week or two on the ground after that they take off.”
