But they cautioned people to not touch or try to feed the birds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/california-investigati-1.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/hires\/2022\/california-investigati-1.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"California brown pelicans fly off Thornehill Broome Beach near Point Mugu, Calif., on May 16, 2021.
