    Sea Gull Has Growth Above Bill

    A sea gull showed up in Culver City, CA, three days ago with a large growth above its bill (in front of its right eye). It is near the bike path along La Ballona Creek (just west of Sepulveda Blvd and south of Lucerne Ave.). Does it need to be treated?

    Cracked but still attached beak - any cures?

    Just noticed one of my hens has a cracked beak. She's foraging, eating, laying like normal but it really doesn't look great. Would I be crazy to superglue the top part to give it some more stability? Does this indicate a nutritional problem or was it likely just an accident?

One night, we heard a ruckus and blasted into the...
