It is apparently true. I received the following notice from the Aquarium of the Pacific:
The Oiled Wildlife Care Network is being called to action at the Marine
Bird Sanctuary in San Pedro.
Recent events have resulted in a number of birds needing treatment. The
Marine Bird Sanctuary can use volunteer assistance with non-technical
support tasks such as laundry, cleaning, food prep and more .. to help
them handle the birds they have and those they expect to be coming in over
the next week or so. More technical work involving bird handling is
reserved for those who meet their requisite levels of experience. The
Marine Bird Sanctuary has work to be done between the hours of 8 am and 8
pm, every day.
