Seagull knocked out by soccer ball comes back to life after some TLC

If you've ever had the pleasure of watching sports in the city of Melbourne in Australia, you'll notice there are a helluva lot of seagulls.

That means they can accidentally get struck -- like this poor little bird who copped it sweet from a ball at a soccer match between Melbourne City and Sydney FC on Wednesday night.

Sydney FC's goalkeeper, Danny Vukovic, was kind enough to try and stop the game while the seagull lay motionless on the pitch. Once the game stopped, he carried the winged fella to the sideline, then gave it a little pat.

But there's a happy end to this story: The seagull miraculously finds life again! Resting on a bench with some concussion, before eventually flying off to continue eating chips and squawking for another day.
