When it comes to red tide toxicity, the first 24 hours are critical. "The sooner we get those birds, the better chance they have to be released back into the wild," Chilbert said. Once a bird is diagnosed with a sickness related to red tide, the sanctuary's hospital will give the bird fluids and feed it fish.
