Cleanup volunteers eager but Gulf too risky by Carol M. Ostrom Times staff reporter Volunteering to clean up oily birds in the Persian Gulf in the midst of a war might not be everyone ' s idea of fun, but as it turns out, Gary Hill has lots of company.

But there ' s not much satisfac- tion to be had for would-be bird cleaners. Taking s ' olunteers into a war zone is just too riskv ' . if not outright impossible, say agencies. We get 10 to 1,5 calls a day from people who want to go over and help, who want to know who is doing it, said Denise Joines. office manager for Seattle Green- peace. People call and say they have to turn off their TV whenever they see the films of the cormo- rants dying in the oil.
