<div><p>When this Carnaby's cockatoo was seriously burnt in a powerline explosion, it seemed like he would never again know the joy of flying.</p><p>Thankfully, Australia's Perth Zoo has a crafty staff of veterinarians and vet techs who knew of a procedure that might restore this endangered bird's flight. </p><p>The process, called "imping," involves the feathers of a deceased donor bird and some good old ingenuity. With matchsticks and super glue, the vets attach the donor feathers to the cockatoo. </p><p>It will take a bit of time for him to recover, but it looks like he's going to be OK!</p><div><amp-facebook data-href="https://www.facebook.com/PerthZoo/videos/10154697727846715" layout="responsive" height="600" width="640"></amp-facebook></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p></div>
