During an intense wind storm that hit PEI in December, dozens of dovekies—small black and white sea birds also known as little auks—were blown on shore. The little birds rapidly become exhausted and weakened when they are out of their ocean environment. More than 20 birds were brought to the AVC Veterinary Teaching Hospital where they received intensive care until they had recovered from their ordeal. A team of veterinarians, technicians and students helped to take care of the birds over five days. Thanks to these dedicated people and financial support from the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre, the dovekies were released back to their natural habitat. Dr. Romain Béraud of AVC’s Companion Animals Department created this poster describing the “dovekie wreck.”
