Parrot gets prosthetic wings


Eldorado

Recommended Posts

"Wei Wei, a 12-week-old Green Cheeked Conure, was brought into The Unusual Pet Vets in Brisbane, Queensland, after her feathers had been cut too short.

"Having surveyed the trim, which left Wei Wei falling to the ground when she tried to fly, Dr Catherine Apuli, 31, decided to give the bird a prosthetic pair of wings, made out of feathers that were donated to the clinic."

This is rather heartwarming! I love seeing prosthetic limbs at work. And those feathers are so pretty!
