2 pelicans released after being treated by Pelican Harbor in Miami for fishing-related injuries

Two brown pelicans were recently rehabilitated at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami after suffering serious fishing-related injuries. Found by community members, one bird had a torn pouch, while the other was tangled in fishing lines with a hook in its chest. After two months of care, the birds were successfully nursed back to health and released into the wild, marking a hopeful moment for their second chance at life. Pelican Harbor reminds the public to call for professional assistance if they find injured birds, to ensure they receive proper care.
