This Bird Has Happy Feet
Say what? To help inspect the underside of birds’ feet, our clever staff built a “mirror” box, then trained our Laysan albatross Makana, to walk over it. For Makana, it’s a fun game; for our staff, it’s a great way to keep our birds healthy!
Meet Makana and learn how you can help Laysan albatross.
Thanks to Julia Mariottini (shown), Monika Rohrer, Anne Burnett and everyone else involved in this great project! Photos by Randy Wilder.
