It’s feeding time! This Brown Pelican was admitted with a fish hook embedded in its wing and a wound on its foot. The Pelican was emaciated when it arrived to us and was started on a liquid diet but has now progressed to eating solid fish on its own! Fun fact✨ Brown Pelicans can dive into the water for fish from as high as 60ft in the air! #visitflorida #wildliferescue #nonprofit #keepthemflying #birdrescue #floridabirds #floridakeys #brownpelican | Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center
