A Brisbane vet has surgically implanted feathers into an injured Tawny Frogmouth, saving the bird from certain death, in a miraculous surgery.
The bird was found caught in barbed wire outside Jimboomba last week with little chance of surviving; however, through the process of ‘imping’ the bird was saved.
The surgery is not regularly practiced in Australia; however, the vet recently returned from Dubai where this is more common.
