DANIA BEACH, Fla. -- Firefighters had to rescue a pelican that was dangling from a tree about 50 feet in the air Thursday.
The pelican was hanging upside down by its wing from some monofilament line in an Australian pine tree near the Dania Beach pier.
Beachgoer Sharon Schultz spotted the pelican Thursday morning.
"At first I thought he was dead, and I came and looked closer and he was struggling," Schultz said.
Schultz said she went to the pier for help and was told the bird had been hanging there since Tuesday. She was also told that a wildlife group had already come, but she was incensed by what she perceived to be a lack of sympathy for the animal.
"They said it was dead," Schultz said. "They weren't going to do nothing about it, so I called (Local) 10. I didn't know what else to do, and now everybody's here to get the bird out of the tree. That's all I wanted."
Hollywood firefighters used a ladder truck to rescue the bird. They snipped the wire and brought it down safely.

In the spotlight: Taylor Lautner makes rare comment about ex Taylor Swift that leaves his wife 'deceased'
CNN — This is a true tale of Taylors, as actor Taylor Lautner’s wife, Taylor Dome, was all of us with her reaction to him spilling tea about that infamous Taylor Swift and Kanye West MTV VMAs moment.In a video from their podcast “The Squeeze” posted Wednesday on Tik Tok, Dome asked Lautner, “If you could go back to one moment in your life, what moment would that be and what would you say to yourself?”“Probably the 2009 VMAs, when I presented the award to Taylor and was unaware that the Kanye thing was not a skit,” he said, causing Dome to literally fall back in surprise and say, “I’m deceased.”
