OK, put something over the bird's head to keep his eyes in the dark. That triggers the roosting reflex. Then, take the broken wing, extend it, snap the bone as close to in place as you can get it, and then fold it next to the body (like if the bird were walking on the ground) and tape the wing in several places, to the body wrapping cloth or paper tape all the way around. Make it nice and firm but not tight and be careful not to cover the vent.

Then confine the bird for about 4 weeks. Seagulls will eat practically anything but ask a vet. Take the tape off. Let the bird exercise the wing for about a week, then let it go.

OH, paper tape comes off the easiest. Both come off fairly easy if you hold a warm wet cloth over the tape for a minute or two and DO NOT, under any circumstances use duct tape.

Don't take the bid with you anywhere. You risk doing more hurt than help to yourself and the bird. I would call animal control and just make sure the bird is protected and comfortable where it is.

A move in location may stress it out too much. If you have a very light or thin blanket or sheet, covering him might help to relax it. (You don't want it to get too hot.)

Poor little seagull! Hope all goes well!

I did end up bringing it home for the night (see update 1). I didn't take it to animal control, but I had my dad take it up to MSU the next day.

Truthfully, I would take it home and keep it for the night and then take it to animal control. If the bird is hurt enough to the point where it's going to suffer they may put it down, but at least your trying to help it

They will probably put it down if its bad. Call animal control they will figure it out.

So I was at the college today with a tutor, and we found an injured seagull hoping along. The wing is clearly broken because it is covered in blood (clearly an open fracture), the seagull was dragging it, and it cannot fly.

I called campus security and they said call dorm security (because it was outside the dorms). So I called dorm security and they said call 911. So I called 911 and they said call animal control (which I also did). Animal control is closed because it is a Sunday AND our local animal control has a 98 percent kill rate for cats/kittens (yes that is their actual statistic not a number I made up on the spot) so I would prefer not to take it there (although I would if I thought that was the best option and they would answer their dang phone).

So then I goggled wildlife rehab places. Of the almost twenty places I called only three numbers still worked. One was closed because it is Sunday. One (over three hours away) said I should either shot it or it needs to be kept in captivity because it won't survive on it's own and told me about how wildlife rehab places care for seagulls (she basically told me to keep it without actually saying to keep it if you know what I mean). The third rehab I called said it had a 50/50 chance if I released it, but she would strongly recommend shooting it. I asked the third place if I should keep it and I got screamed at for ten minutes about how that is illegal, how wildlife shouldn't be kept in captivity, etc.
