Spain’s only bird of prey rehabilitation centre, Brinzal, is pinning credit on acupuncture for their success in returning raptors to the air.
“Wild animals react very quickly because they are not as contaminated as we are by medicine or eating habits,” according to veterinarian Edurne Cornejo. “It is as if you just have to push the right button, and there you go.”
The ancient healing technique relies on pins being pushed into specific pressure points and has been touted as a cure for all manner of ailments for centuries.
The clinic’s feathered patients are often “adopted” by the people who found them, who then receive regular updates on the animal’s recovery as well as an invitation to the marquee event: watching the animal take to the skies after its fully healed.
