About 40 dead and 25 injured baby
seagulls were found and rescued from South Jefferson Street on Sunday in what
seems to be the result of attacks between seagulls.
The Chicago Birds Collision
Monitors, which works under the Chicago Audubon Society, received a phone call
through its hotline about 2 p.m. When volunteer Chava Sonnier arrived at the
scene on her way home, expecting to pick up just one or a few birds, she was “totally
shocked.”
“I’ve personally never seen
anything of this large a scale before,” she said. “It was truly bird chaos.”
Sonnier rescued about 20 injured
seagulls from a sea of eggs, birds and feathers. It was “heartbreaking,” she
said, to see surviving birds curled up near their dead siblings or trying to
remain with family members.
