A duck has tragically died from starvation after becoming entangled in a plastic bottle ring.
Rescuers from the Darling Range Wildlife Shelter in Perth managed to find the duck but after having had the plastic stuck around his neck for a week the animal had become extremely sick.
'He was very thin, very weak and likely had severe metabolic issues from a week of starving,' the group shared in a Facebook post.
The rescue organisation urged the community to be more responsible with waste, especially plastics.
