One of the flock of Canada Geese, that mistakenly landed in the sticky goo at La Brea Tar Pits, suffering serious injuries and deaths on July 31st is now on the mend. Of the 7 geese transported to the International Bird Rescue Center in San Pedro, 5 did not survive, one is still not stable and this goose passed the water repellent check up and was able to rejoin other birds in the outdoor water area on Tuesday, August 15, 2023.
“It’s heartbreaking to see accidents like this occur,” JD Bergeron, CEO of Bird Rescue in Northern California, said in a written statement. “Birds in a changing world face dwindling natural habitat and lack of habitat is a big problem for the wild animals that call Los Angeles home.” Both of the surviving geese are still recovering from capture myopathy but are slowly regaining the strength to stand on their own. They also are recovering from burn wounds and feather loss. The bird requiring surgery had severe burns “to the bone” on its underside, Duerr said.
The Lake Pit is fenced off to the public, but, Duerr said, it would be helpful if something could be in place to prevent birds from flying into it.
