Volunteers Wash Birds at SANCCOB

Can you see this image hanging on your wall?Buy a Print

These women are cleaning up a Cape Gannet after the devastating March 2011 M.S. Oliva oil spill in the South Pacific. We were on a private tour of the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (aka SANCCOB) outside of Cape Town in South Africa. Penguins are not the only seabirds this hard working non-profit rescues on a regular basis.

    It was pretty interesting to watch them work. The birds get cleaned in stages, so humans don’t handle them too much at one time.
