SeaWorld Saves Some Sandhills

10,000 Birds

SeaWorld vets removed the gasket, and happened to rescue, during the bird’s rehabilitation, a newly hatched Sandhill chick. Rather than risk the chick’s imprinting on humans, the team cleverly thought to pair their two charges. Like I said, I may not be a big fan of this kind of operation (are you?)
