Last month KPIX reported on a wave of sick and starving pelicans landing in Bay Area rescue centers. Now, there's an encouraging follow up on some of those birds. More than two dozen of them are back in the wild after their rehabilitation stint. 'They love to spend time together,' explained Russ Curtis of International Bird Rescue. 'I think some of them have been up at our main aviary and are like 'it's time to go home.
' 'What I see is they start dunking into the water,' said rescue worker JD Bergeron. ' They start preening, wetting their feathers. Maybe even start looking for food.' Bergeron says there was one reluctant pelican. 'There was one of the kennels where one of the birds was faced the wrong way, and it was a younger bird, which doesn't always follow the lead as easily,' he said of the holdout.
