This photo captured a small owl with an intense, curious expression—a powerful reminder of the resilience and adaptability of birds. My veterinary research focused on pioneering fracture stabilization techniques for avian species, using innovative methods to support their recovery and maintain mobility. Birds like this owl inspired my work, embodying both the fragility and strength that make them remarkable. As we developed treatments to enhance their well-being, I was reminded of the importance of preserving both their lives and their spirit.
