Description
A pelican is receiving medical care after a Pinellas County Deputy discovered it with an injured wing.
In a post on Facebook Thursday morning, the sheriff's office says Deputy Bassous responded to a call from Birds In Helping Hands, a nonprofit that assists in protecting injured or endangered species, that "well-meaning" people were picking the bird up and feeding it chips. Officials say that is not what you should do with injured wildlife. https://www.wtsp.com/article/life/animals/pelican-rescued-pinellas-county-deputy/67-c67c1fd4-6935-431f-9413-ce28a707ae22
