Orthotics save a bird



I didn't know they could do orthotics for birds. A captive eagle had a foot problem. They solved it elegantly and humanely. A great story to brighten your day.

Just because golden eagles never wear heels doesn't mean they don't have foot problems.

At the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program in Fort Collins, the situation became so serious for one very large, very important eagle that the next step was going to be killing the bird...
