A Brown Pelican that was found in San Pedro with a slashed pouch was released back into the wild in San Pedro after undergoing weeks of treatment.
A Brown Pelican that was found in San Pedro with a slashed pouch was released back into the wild in San Pedro Thursday after undergoing weeks of treatment and receiving more than 500 stitches., nicknamed Blue, spread her wings and took flight to join other pelicans at White Point Park Thursday morning.
Curtis noted Blue healed pretty quickly after undergoing two surgeries. Blue required about 500 stitches to reconnect her pouch to her mouth."Pelicans are pretty resilient, especially if we get them in early and get them hydrated,'' Curtis said."We were able to put some sutures into her pretty quickly, so she could start to eat again. We did a second surgery to clean it up a little bit.
He said that often times the center rescues pelicans with injuries or tears caused by fishing lines, but Blue's injury was too significant to have been caused without some sort of human interaction."Let's be more mindful around wildlife. We need to share our space with wildlife,'' Curtis said."They're a big part of what makes life on Earth a little bit easier for all of us.
