These Pelicans are victims of the recent Southern California mass-stranding event Pelican Crisis. Since May 12, hundreds of Brown Pelicans have been found cold, injured, and starving and the cause is still unknown. These 12 Pelicans have been in care at the Wetlands & Wildlife Center for the last month, they recovered and were released back in the wild at the Corona Del Mar State Beach!!

Hundreds of other Brown Pelicans are still in care at the Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center, International Bird Rescue and several other dedicated groups helping to save these precious Pelicans.

 

Learn more about the current Pelican Crisis and see how you can help:

Hundreds of Pelicans have been rescued since May 12 by various organizations including the International Bird Rescue, Wetlands & Wildlife Center, and Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network. Hundreds of Pelicans have been found starving and many dead.

Many are injured and all are in need of specialized care. Several were found with multiple fish hooks on each bird, some have been hit by cars or have fractures for unknown reasons. Some were found cold and starving.

Timing of rescue is essential, the quicker injured Pelicans are located and rescued, the greater chance for their survival. If you see a Pelican that appears to be sick or injured, please report ASAP.
