You can adopt a bird here...
We can't save some of them....but we can save many...Associated Press reports after six weeks with one to four birds a day coming into Louisiana's rescue center for oiled birds, 53 arrived Thursday June 3and another 13 June 4.
And, says center spokesman Jay Holcomb, more are on their way from the rookery on Queen Bess Island, near Grand Isle.
About 20 people are working at the center, and so far Holcomb says that's plenty.
He and veterinarians Heather Nevill of Tri-State and Sharon Taylor of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service say the birds were not yet ready for cleaning. They're being kept in wooden pens with mesh covers, white cloths over those and heat lamps to keep them warm so they won't preen themselves until they can be washed.
