Even if seaguls are a bit of a pain I would never want to see one dying of thirst.

as a general rule, seagulls can be a bit of an arsehole but like amy said, we can’t let them dehydrate and die

Those mentioning about the seagulls

Im terrified of them they swoop down and are really intimidating

That said the true reason they are worse at the moment then usual is its the time when their babies are born but because of the heat a lot of the baby seagulls are dying so the seagulls are very distressed

Im so scared of them but also feel very sorry for them

The only animal i cant justify is a wasp...evil

I have two seagulls who come to my garden EVERY single day because I always feed them. I find them so cute I've named them Sally and Pete. Blatantly married because they're never apart and their fave food is cheese.

There was a bird in my garden kinda laying to one side and not doing anything when I got home from work there, I went out to see if it was ok and it never attempted to fly away or that so I went back out with some water and left it to it for a few mins, checked again and it seems fine now

Not sure if he was exhausted, thirsty or what but seems ok now

HUNDREDS of baby hedgehogs are dying of thirst in the endless 30C heatwave, experts warned today.

Gardeners are urged to help save them by leaving out saucers of water to drink after weeks with barely any rain.
