Fiona Reportedly Takes Longtails To Nova Scotia
Three Bermuda longtails “are believed to have been brought to Nova Scotia after being caught in the hurricane winds” as Hurricane Fiona made its way to the Canadian province.
The CBC website said, “Three Bermuda longtails are believed to have been brought to Nova Scotia after being caught in the hurricane winds. None of them survived.
“One bird died on its way to Hope for Wildlife and a second died at Hope for Wildlife. A third died on its way to Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre this week.

“Boates said the centre had never had a tropical bird in its care before, stressing that it’s highly unusual for the bird to make such a long trip with no food.
“They usually weigh about 400 grams and this one came in at about 250 grams. So imagine, you know, from that long trip, probably no food at all and that’s a lot of body weight to lose,” said Swinimer.
