Twice a year here at the Alaska Raptor Center, our Raptors-in-Residence come into the clinic for a little coping on their beaks and talons. Coping is the act of shaping a bird's beak and talons back to their ideal shape. While we provide materials to help the birds naturally cope, we also assist with maintaining their beaks and talons under human care. #AvianCare #BehindTheScenes #SpaDay
