This story is sure to warm your cockles. Back in 2005 a bald eagle fittingly named Beauty had a run-in with a poacher. That sick poacher had shot the eagle, breaking her beak. Quite how anyone could do such a thing is beyond me. It’s sickening, but thankfully, it’s just the beginning of this story.
Beauty, the eagle, was rescued by and taken to Birds of Prey Northwest a nonprofit organisation located near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. There, she was nursed back to health by a small army of volunteers.
Now, as this video reports, the beautiful bald eagle has been given a prophetic beak. She isn’t well enough to return to the wild yet, but with the team at Birds of Prey Northwest looking after her their is every hope for Beauty, the Bald Eagle.
