In response to World Chicken Sanctuary’s web site, Clark was born on the sanctuary as a part of its program that aimed to launch the then-endangered birds into the wild.
However the group mentioned that Clark wasn’t launched as a consequence of scale deformities on his toes, which suggests his toes might endure from frostbite since they would not be shielded from the chilly climate.
Since he could not be launched into the wild, Clark joined the group’s eagle flight workforce, which suggests he will get to carry out at navy occasions for veterans and sporting occasions, the group mentioned.
