Baby African crowned crane gets a new pair of booties

By far the cutest news of the day containing two very sweet photographs. This tiny fluffeh chick suffered from the problem of curled feet (bird toes?) and being a member of a vulnerable species the tiny birdie needed help. Of course, the action required the zoo keepers to make tiny bird slippers out of green bandages, n'aaaaaw. ‘The chick is doing very well and the park keepers take it for walks to strengthen those legs. ‘We were delighted when one hatched. So the keepers are now full-time mums with two hourly feeds and giving some much needed tender loving care to this little one.’’-Metro added by: Mcellie
