Happy Freedom Friday🌊 On Tuesday, our team released this juvenile Laughing Gull during a sanctuary program! This Laughing Gull was found on a boat unable to fly and was emaciated. After a few days of our emaciation protocol, the gull began standing in its enclosure and gaining weight. Once the patient was strong enough and moved to an outdoor enclosure, they began flying around the enclosure and perching. After 14 days in care, this gull was ready for release and splashed around in the Florida
