Print The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is investigating why a dozen sea gulls were recently found dead or gravely ill at Huntington State Beach Employees and volunteers with the Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach found the 12 western gulls Thursday between lifeguard towers 3 and 9 according to a post on the nonprofit’s Facebook page Eight of the gulls were dead when they were found on the high tide line mixed with seaweed The remaining four were “clinging to life” and were taken to the care center to be treated for possible poisoning Thursday morning we received a very alarming call notifying us of numerous dead and/or dying Western Gulls on Huntington.. the care center suspects the birds washed ashore during Thursday morning’s high tide The birds’ cause of death was still unknown Monday according to Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Kirsten Macintyre The department sent two of the carcasses for necropsies at a diagnostic lab and the results are expected by the end of the week Peronne described the three surviving birds as doing “really well” and said they had begun eating on their own “These were very healthy birds before this happened,” Peronne said adding that the illness had come on suddenly they will be returned to the beach after about two weeks Care center workers tried to capture two other gulls that were showing symptoms of early stages of toxicity such as drooping wings and a “drunk waddle,” Peronne said The birds also were suffering from varying levels of paralysis “We tried to capture them to treat them really quickly,” but the birds were still able to fly Though the cause of the sickness hasn’t been identified Peronne said the symptoms were similar to a bacterial illness that could be contracted by eating decomposing plants or animals an Orange County-area superintendent with California State Parks said he hadn’t been aware of the incident but doesn’t believe it indicates a public safety hazard Support our coverage by becoming a digital subscriber.
