In an April 19 dispatch on its website, International Bird Rescue says: "Our center team has placed temporary staples [look closely in the photos, you can see the staples] in the pouch to allow the bird to self-feed and stabilize. The bird is currently living in our small aviary awaiting surgery to repair the pouch."

The group adds: "If anyone has information regarding this bird's injury, please call the SPCA cruelty tip line for Southern California at 1-800-540-SPCA."
