Pelicans mutilated as officials combat beak injuries in Dana Point
In Dana Point California officials report that 18 young pelicans have had beaks hacked over six weeks. Veterinarians replace beaks with stainless steel or fiberglass and feed others by hand as researchers warn handouts from humans leave birds vulnerable. Ornithologists link the mutilations to frustrated fishermen and naive birds seeking human food.
