Happy 1-Year Anniversary Bella

Happy Anniversary to Bella

Bella was admitted to Wings of Wonder exactly one year ago, after flying into a window near Manistee Michigan, and suffering a fractured humerus in her left wing. Surgery was performed by the talented Dr. Eric Peck, Northern Michigan Veterinary Hospital. Her recovery was amazing, but unfortunately she will never fly well enough for release back into the wilds.

Bella has been a wonderful addition to our educational "family"..... I often refer to her as "a gift from the universe".

This year she began to molt in some blue-gray feathers along her back and tail. Over the course of the next hand full of years, Bella will change from her current brown mottling to the beautiful, adult, blue grey feather color pattern over the back of her head, shoulders, backside and tail feathers.

You can meet Bella at one of our many educational presentations. Check out our calendar to see a complete listing of our programs.
