Vets Made This Tiny Bird With Deformed Feet Its Own Set Of Mini Snow Shoes

The results are a stylish departure from snowshoes that would make Canadians jealous. The design is to help reset the alignment of the feet. Brent said the team outfitted the bird with the snowshoes for a week until it was able to walk normally and do normal bird things again. Our little bird friend has since graduated from the shoes and was released back in the wild, where it's able to properly bird again. It's gratifying that such an easy fix here can change an animal's life, one of the vets, Dr. Lorraine Barbosaw, said. Thank you, wildlife centers, for saving bird lives all while innovating bird fashions. (This little guy had neck surgery.)
