Our Animal Rescue Team responded to multiple resident calls about a distressed Great Blue Heron wondering a local neighborhood with an aluminum soda can stuck on its bill. 

When our rescue team arrived  they discovered that the heron had pierced the aluminum can with its bill causing the can to be lodged around its head, creating minor lacerations to the bird’s face and eye. Immediately following the rescue our team was able to remove the can, however due to the sustained injuries  the heron was brought back to our facility for medical care. Following an examination and antibiotics, the heron was treated and cleared for return within hours of its rescue.
