Usually we are complaining about the Herons and their helping themselves to
our
fish. But the one that has been visiting us the last couple of days is
really
in bad shape. His entire bottom beak is broken off and just hanging by a
thread. Any ideas of what to do or who to call to help this fellow. He is
really getting lethargic and I know he is starving. Any ideas needed.

I hate to say this, but there is little hope for this bird based on your
description. The best thing that can happen to it is to have it
euthanized (spelling - tired - sorry). Not sure if it is legal to kill
heron in your area, but if you can, and you own a gun...

sorry.. feel bad giving this kind of advice... but I was raised on a
ranch... lots of wild and domesticated fowl..
