Veterinarians from the International Bird Rescue rushed to help a brown pelican brutally maimed by a knife, according to doctors.
'I wish we weren't handling another terrible case like this, but the pelican is in the best possible spot with an experienced veterinary team who will make all the difference in her recovery,' CEO of Bird Rescue JD Bergeron said. Fishermen found the brown pelican, nicknamed 'Blue' for its temporary ID band, in San Pedro over the weekend. The female bird suffered straight cuts parallel to the jaw.
'We see many pelicans with pouch trauma due to fishing gear and eating dangerous sharp items like fish skeletons, but the wounds do not look like this,' Duerr said. Doctors used 400 stitches to repair Blue's severed pouch. The animal relies on the organ to eat and stay hydrated. 'The back of the Blue's oral cavity required careful reconstruction but came together well, said Duerr.
