A neighbor who lives in Branford Connecticut saw a seagull that was trapped in a kite string 50 feet above the ground between two trees on Tuesday. When the Branford firefighters were called in an attempt to rescue the seagull told the person who called them which was the Dan Cosgrove Animal Center to rescue the seagull that the bucket was not tall enough to rescue the anima, the second plan was to contact the J. Witkowski & Sons Tree Service to rescue the seagull by using a spider lift to rescue the seagull. The tree service employees were able to save the seagull using a spider lift to rescue the seagull After the seagull was rescued, the seagull was taken by the tree service employees to the Madison Veterinary Hospital where the seagull will be in rehabilitation until the seagull is well enough to return to his home.

Poor seagull, I hope he'll be well enough to be released soon.

I hope so as well since the seagull did not have any broken bones on his body.

I am in agreement with you that a tree service did come to rescue the seagull that was trapped in the wire.

I know if I was a seagull being stuck in the air on feet above the ground, I would be scared as well.

I have heard of various sea creatures like turtles being tied up and trapped by old fishing lines, but that is a first in my recollection, a seagull trapped by kite string. It was good that it had a good ending.
