While mum and our volunteer friend Judy went out today to get bird supplies for the birds, we got a phone call from a lovely lady who was so concerned about this poor young juvenile pelican in a unusual spot, she was near the Sunshine Coast university hospital , but she was on the other side in the paddock .
So we phoned mum while she was out, it worked out perfect timing as mum was only 2 minutes away from the pelican .
Ten minutes later we got a phone call from mum, mum said she had her , it was a great relief, mum did well, the workman helped just incase she tried to attempt to fly, but she wasn’t going anywhere as mum said you couldn’t feel to much weight in her, mum did well with a sore back.
So before mum and judy did the shopping for the birds , they came back straight away with her so we could keep her warm and give some fish and some fluids, she was very hungry , but also very exhausted ,under weight poor darling , so we are going to nicknamed her Judith after judy.
Now we just have to try our best with her as she is weak , but one good thing she is keeping fish down.
So please keep an eye out in the paddocks or unusual spots as these beautiful young juvenile pelicans are taking their first tempt of flight from their nest sight, as they are trying to get to the coastal area’s, they are only three and half months old too.
We were blessed mum rescued her.
