It's a juvenile Gannet. What on earth are you doing with that. It needs to be taken to a wildlife rescue centre as soon as possible so that it can be cared for properly.

Agree, TeeJay. In the meantime don't let its beak get anywhere near your face - it could take your eye out.
How did you come to have this lovely bird?

I should have also said watch your eyes. People have been blinded by handling Gannets.

I'm glad your kind act hasn't resulted in injury for you. I hope somewhere can take it, as they are not an easy bird to care for.

Good work, Jolc5. Thanks for letting us know. From its plumage it looked to be a very young bird which I would have thought was unusual at this time of year. Most of its peers would have been much further advanced. Let's hope it makes it.
