Injured Anhinga bird, string wrapped around beak

Daytona Beach FL

Description

There is an Anhinga bird at Memorial Park, off of Jackson street in port orange. He has had heavy piece of string wrapped around his beak for 9 days now. I check on him every day and he is on the lawn. I have called every number there is, fish and wild life, police, sheriff dept, wildlife rescue in deleon springs, no one can help the poor bird. I bought a casting net last night but I do not know how to use it. He does go into the pond and he will submerge himself for a few minutes, probably trying to drink water or eat something, but to no avail. I will be there again at 3:30 to check on him. I will pay someone $100 if they can catch him and take the string off. there may be a hook in his mouth, not sure. I know getting the hook out will be difficult but maybe just getting the string off of his beak will help keep him alive. Please call Terri at , I want to be there when the bird is helped (just to make sure that he was assisted)
