What's up with these people? You do not approve? Read this to find what's up with these people:

For those of you who have e-mailed me wondering if it's true that an eagle goes into seclusion, plucks all of its feathers, sheds its beak and talons, and then renews itself, is a myth. An eagle's beak and talons grow continuously, because they are made of keratin, the same substance as our hair and fingernails. Eagles molt in patches, taking almost half a year to replace feathers, starting with the head and working downward. Not all feathers are replaced in a given molt. An eagle without feathers, talons, and a beak would die of starvation and exposure."

“You do not approve?” What’s that supposed to mean?

I would have started working on the artificial beak about two weeks to a month after the bird was brougth to me.

Apparently THIS eagle’s beak does not “grow continuously”. And it shouldn’t have taken “several years” for its caretakers to figure that out.
