Texas Wildlife Group Caring For Eagle With Fractured Wing Until He Can Fly Again

CONROE, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - A wildlife group based in Montgomery County is taking care of an eagle they picked up in Polk County.

The bird has a healing fracture near his right shoulder, according to a Facebook post from the group, Friends of Texas Wildlife.

"He will require limited movement for 4-6 weeks before we can even assess if the wing will be functional. We do not know how he was injured. What a handsome bird he is," the non-profit shared.

Asking for donations, the group said that eagles are extremely costly to care for due to their dietary needs.

The eagle will remain in their care a minimum of 8-12 weeks.
