I always pick up plastic and nettings when i see them and throw them in the garbage.

A finch had got caught up on the lawn net and it was struggling for a long time to get out. I am sure if I had not seen it in time it probably would have a deformity on its foot. Fortunately I decided not to cut the net of like my neighbors suggested. And once again thnx to the Lindsay Wildlife museum for taking care of it.

MaryRosales
perhaps they were caught by a fish hook; this happens at many of the lakes nearby

interesting .Must be a reason so many of the pigeons have these malformations.
