Pelican Rescue--The Palm Beaches of Florida

Video Title :	Pelican Rescue--The Palm Beaches of Florida
Description :	Kenny Brown is a local hero in The Palm Beaches of Florida. Brown is a native of West Palm Beach and became involved over a year ago when he spotted some entangled and hurting pelicans at Boynton Beach. He went to K Mart and bought a $20 net and started rescuing pelicans in need. The task has grown into several hours of rescue after each day's work. It is a thankless task with many fishermen snearing as they consider the Pelican a "flying rat". These majestic birds have a right to live in Florida too. Man's encroachment there is on the verge of wiping out the beautiful Florida Panther. You might say, "Their are plenty of Pelicans!" But remember that there once was plenty of Passenger Pigeons too. Kenny is more than willing to assist any bird in need. Please contact me to find out how you can help.

good job man!!!

You do a great job

Thank you for saving Terri

wow, good work man. It is lucky for the pelican's that you are around. I live on Vancouver Island and volunteer at a wildlife rescue place, and we had a brown pelican for 3 months, she was found very sick and almost dead in november last year. We nursed her back to health, and sent her back to California, were she was later released. What a cool bird! We grew to love her, she became kind of a local celebrity..... no pelicans up here. Keep up the good work, your awesome. j

Thank God for Kenny and others like him! I've seen dozens of Pelicans entangled in fish lines and carrying hooks in their bodies all along the piers off Miami Beach. It's disgusting that the folks responsible don't give a damn. Go Kenny!

Here is his contact information: Kenny Brown 731 N. 5th St. Apt. 1 Lantana, FL 33462 Or you can give him a call at 561/628-5363.

You can read more about him in an article that the Boca News did on him - do a google search for "Kenny Brown" pelican (include the quotes around kenny brown but not around pelican) and on the first page you'll see a bocaratonnews link - view the cached version, and that's the article Kenny doesn't own a computer and works during the day to save as many birds as he finds out of the goodness of his heart. I sent him a donation to help his work.
