SAN PEDRO, Calif. (KABC) -- Large numbers of sick, injured and starving brown pelicans have turned up along the Southern California coast.

The International Bird Rescue Research Center in San Pedro rescued 40 birds in December and another 25 birds since Jan. 1. Workers say the ailing pelicans are being found in unusual places.

"We're seeing them come in thin and little bit disoriented, a lot of times very cold," said Erica Lander from the IBRRC. "So we're taking them in and caring for them."

In 2008, the bird sanctuary took in over 300 sick pelicans, about 100 more than they had in 2007. There was a "baby boom" of pelicans last fall, which increased their patient load. But experts are unsure why more birds are getting sick now.

Workers say it costs between $500 and $1,000 to rehabilitate a sick pelican.

"It gets very costly, especially when we have so many coming in at one time," said Lander.

As a non-profit organization, funds are running thin for the IBRRC. It's now turning to the public to help the endangered brown pelicans. Bird lovers can adopt a pelican for $200 or become a pelican partner for $500. The IBRRC also has a classroom partnership for $300, where a whole class can raise the money to sponsor a pelican.

For nearly 40 years brown pelicans have been endangered species. The number of birds turning up shows the population is improving and workers want to make sure they survive.

end of the day recap

almost ready for macau tomorrow! i think ive finally grasped the concept of NOT over packing. and usually its not the clothes i over pack but the carry on. but im actually really excited this time. i needed that break for a month or so, it was getting to be tiring.

i have a good airline so im stoked and they FINALLY have tvs, well i hope the one we go on does and its not some janky 80s version.

i was really proud of myself tonight cause i totally lived out my new years resolution (one of them) and instead of ordering in (which i totally wanted to do) i looked in the fridge and made dinner happen. i made stuffed peppers with brown rice, corn, black beans, feta, and tomatoes tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. along side was garlic and olive oil roasted cauliflower. wooo! i was so happy that the fridge is getting empty and we actually USED all the food to get to this point. so i guess i lived out 2 more of my new years resolution cause i made food in the form of the new american plate AND i cooked instead of ordering in.

ok boring sorry.

above is our family photo we took last night using the new camera and tripod. so enjoy!


im going to go enjoy my cup of "cherry rose calm" tea.

i love you crate and barrel

tea info....prolly more to come because im obsessed at the moment

so ive been super into tea lately since ginette took me to the healing tree. and its crazy how much it benifets your health. ive been into the cream earl grey black tea and i kinda got the impression that black tea isnt AMAZING for you but apparently it is! how exciting! heres a little bit of info for ya




Black Tea Saves arteries. Drinking black tea helps prevent deadly clogging of arteries and reverses poor arterial functioning that can trigger heart attacks and strokes. In arecent test, Joseph Vita, M.D., of the Boston University School of Medicine, had heart patients drink either plain water or four cups of black tea daily. In a month, impaired blood vessel functioning (a risk factor for heart attack and strokes) improved about 50% in the black tea drinkers.

Black Tea Inhibits cancer growth. Tea has long been tied to a lower risk of stomach, colon and breast cancer, although the connection is not proven. Now lab studies find that black tea chemicals actually may stop cancer growth. Rutgers University researchers showed that a compound in black tea called TF-2 caused colorectal cancer cells to "commit suicide"; normal cells were unaffected.

Black Tea Tames inflammation. TF-2, the newly discovered anti-cancer compound in black tea, suppresses the Cox-2 gene that triggers inflammation, says research at Rutgers.

Black Tea Wipes out viruses. Previous tests prove black tea can neutralize germs, including some that cause diarrhea, pneumonia, cystitis and skin infections. New research by Milton Schiffenbauer of Pace University finds that black and green tea deactivates viruses, including herpes. When you drink tea, he says, chances are good you will wipe out viruses in your mouth.

For the best benefit ... Drink both black and green tea, the regular kind sold in bags or leaves in grocery stores. Their antioxidants are equal.
