Fran, I suggest you call the PAWS Wildlife Center
425-787-2500 for advice. Hang in there through the
menu, you want the PAWS Wildlife Center, not the
Shelter, and then you want to talk to a staff member
about wildlife. You will be able to get good,
practical advice on how to deal with the situation
with the welfare of the gull family paramount.

Good luck.
