He won’t be able to soar into the skies or skim the waters with his wings, but a bald eagle treated at a veterinary college at the University of Prince Edward Island after being hit by a car in October 2021 is doing well and settling in a new home.

Bald eagle 450—the 450th patient of the Atlantic Veterinary College hospital in 2021—is believed to be only the second bird in the world to receive surgery for a spinal cord compression.
