A passerby spotted an unusual thing when he was in the parking lot of William Harvey Hospital situated in Kent, England. What he saw was almost unbelievable.

At first, he thought he is seeing things. Then he took a closer look and found out that it was not the case.

It was a seagull that has somehow gotten in the front grille of a car in the parking lot and was stuck there. He immediately contacted RSPCA to rescue the poor seagull.

The RSPCA acted promptly and despatched someone for help. The representative of RSPCA, Tina Nash, who was the rescuer at the site, shared with the press:

“When I arrived, all I could see were the white wing feathers of the gull poking through the grille.”

“The bird was completely wedged up behind the grille and there’s no way he’d have been able to get out himself.”

After assessing the situation, the rescuer realized that it is impossible that the seagull has simply snuck behind the grille. What they assumed, that could have happened was, that the seagull might have been hit with the car and instead of any injury it amazingly got sucked behind the grille.

Nash remarked, “He’s incredibly lucky that this eagle-eyed passerby spotted his plight and called us for help.”

Before getting him out from behind the grille, Nash tried to navigate it into a better and comfortable position.

Meanwhile, they worked on the strategy of getting him out without causing any injury. Finally, they opened the grille a little bit from where they were able to take him out.

Through all of this, the poor bird was not at all happy. Nash told, “He wasn’t at all happy about us trying to save him and put up quite the fight.”

It was natural that the bird was terrified because of his plight.

However, once he was out of there, he seemed to have calmed down. He was taken to Mallydams Wood Wildlife Centre for a thorough check-up.

Everyone was even more surprised when the seagull turned out to be completely fine even after hitting the car.

“Miraculously the gull didn’t have any serious wounds or injuries and was a little battered, bruised and embarrassed by his ordeal, but is now on the mend,” Nash told.

“Once he’s fully recovered, we’ll be able to release him back into the wild.” The seagull is resting and relaxing at the wildlife centre where they are keeping him under observation.

Once they are satisfied that he is alright, he will be released back to his home. This one is definitely a miracle.
