More than 180 sick and starving pelicans have been found across Southern California in recent weeks and many others have died.
Scores of sick and starving pelicans have been found in coastal California communities in recent weeks and many others have died.
Debbie McGuire, executive director of the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach, said the birds are the latest group that they've tried to save after taking in more than 100 other pelicans that were anemic, dehydrated and weighing only half of what they should. The nonprofit has admitted 180 brown pelicans from Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, according to a news release.
The pelicans were described as emaciated, frail and hypothermic. A large percentage of them were "coming in with fishing gear entanglement and are requiring surgery to repair wounds," the Wildlife Care Center said.
