Wildlife rescue workers say they are at a loss as to how to help several birds who have been collared with beer cans, unless they can get their hands on a new piece of equipment.

We are pretty much at a loss without a very special piece of equipment -- a net launcher," Dmytryk said.

Specifically, Dmytryk said they hope to be able to get $3,500 so they can buy something called a Coda Netlauncher.

The rescuers want to hear from people who spot the birds, but they don't want people to try to catch them on their own.

snip...
Sightings should be reported to rescue@wildrescue.org or by calling: 831-429-2323. They would love to hear from people who want to donate money for the cause as well.
