RSPCA inspector Krissy Raine reunited the bird with its mom after it got caught for 2 days on top of Park Tower, in Park Road.
The gull was stuck in a narrow space in between a third-storey home and pillars fronting the roof.
A local, who had actually been feeding the distressed young bird, called the animal charity.
After getting approval from the homeowner, RSPCA inspector Krissy climbed up on a ladder and reached the gull, pulling him clear with a rescue web and pole.
Krissy said: “This poor gull was in a really difficult position to reach as he had dropped down a v-shaped gap on the rooftop.
“The windows of the flat next to it are grilled off and while that was the best route of access we weren’t able to remove them because the building is listed.
“So we put some ladders up around the back of the building and I climbed up that way. While I was reaching out to the gull, I attracted the attention of the parents and they weren’t that happy to see me. They were dive bombing me!
“But I managed to hook the young one in my net. He was fine and I was soon able to release him and he was off in the air with his mother.”
The inspector said it is not the very first time that birds have actually been caught at this area.
In recent weeks the RSPCA have actually been hectic releasing birds from netting at numerous high areas around the North East.
