Two female bald eagles are seen in this undated photo. Hope for Wildlife Founder Hope Swinimer believes the lock-up was possibly over food.
At Hope for Wildlife, a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Seaforth, N.S., a major emphasis of the overall mission is providing care for injured animals and birds. “From song birds to sea birds to birds of prey,” said director Hope Swinimer. “We get all kinds of mammals and anything you can think of.”In January, Swinimer received a call from the South Shore area of Nova Scotia. Two bald eagles had been discovered on the ground.
“Their talons were locked onto each other, which does happen and we are aware that that happens,” said Swinimer.Upon closer examination, it was discovered they were two females.One of the eagles was fairly healthy and was released within five days.The eagle was operated on by the veterinary team at the animal hospital onsite.
“Looking at the X-ray, you can see it is kind of right in the middle of the bone,” said Tessa Jackson, who is with the medical team at Hope for Wildlife. “The break was mid-shaft, so it makes pinning nicer as the post can be placed closer to the joints.”“And then she’ll be outside for a bit regaining that muscle she’s lost,” said Jackson.“We will be able to release her from there,” said Swinimer.

'Cause, that's kinda how that equation works hypocrites. Temp is coming down so they can lower the price until they come up with another reason to raise it.

I lived in Halifax when Mr. Houston was elected to office on the grand promise of fixing health care, and of course, we got nothing. that was his platform to get elected in the first place, that was his entire platform and he won based on that, so what happened, he fired the head of Healthcare in the Province who was an actual Doctor and replaced that Doctor with a friend of his who ran the port previously,so? And how exactly are we determining who is qualified for fast-tracking healthcare worker immigration?
