#1. Arriving in a cold, cardboard box, the bald eagle was covered in blood, from beak to talons.
#2. Usually full of fight and fire, the majestic bird calmly held on for dear life.
#3. It’s incredible how sharp and huge his talons were.
#4. The vets decided to name the eagle Freedom and worked diligently to heal him.
#5. Vets discovered Freedom had an open fracture – where bone broke through his skin – and did their best to sedate and then repair his beautiful wing.
#6. After weeks of stabilization, Freedom’s wing was healed.
#7. He is now being given his final treatments and will be released back into the wild to rule the skies once again.
Freedom’s story is one of hope and healing. All living creatures, no matter how big or how small, need help at some point.
