The nonprofit IntBirdRescue is sounding the alarm about what it calls a 'pelican crisis' in LA County. 200 sick brown pelicans... the highest number in a decade.
“A lot of these birds we're finding in roadways or in parks in places away from the ocean, which is really unusual. And so that's a sign that these birds are really having a hard time."
Bird Rescue spokesperson Russ Curtis says pelicans are coming into the center"cold and emaciated," some with"wing injuries." "We're getting more birds that are simply starving," said Rebecca Duerr, who directs the bird rescue effort."They're super hungry. Once we get them stabilized, their primary symptom is that they are so hungry. And we're getting a mix of ages. It's all age groups.
