HELP PHOENIX THE BALD EAGLE

Pictured above is Phoenix, the "eagle who lived" (so far, at least), admitted to PRWC Sunday January 13th, 2013 after probably being electrocuted. She is still doing well as of now. Given the shape she was in when she was found, we really did not expect her to make it this far. She is stable, feisty, and has a good appetite.
