Gull rescued after getting up to its neck in trouble (www.rnz.co.nz)

A gull found stuck in a George St grate may have exposed a design flaw in Dunedin's infrastructure, a conservationist says.

Those who found it had already phoned the Dunedin City Council which said the stuck seagull "wasn't their jurisdiction to go and save it", she said.

I love that half our countries news is about random animals.

From the pictures it seems that tree pit doesn't need to be so deep. If they fill it in so the animals can hop out easily it should be fine.

It does look absurdly deep, but maybe that's the angle and lighting.

I love that half our countries news is about random animals.

Only while everyone is off work for Christmas. When everyone gets back to work there will be plenty of politics and workplace accidents in the news again.
