Opal, one of two white #ravens who are longtime residents at North Island Wildlife Recovery Center. She's not albino, please ignore my verbal error in vid.
Opal arrived at NIWRA centre in 2024 after being found with damaged feathers and reduced flight ability. In addition to her injuries, Opal has a condition called #leucism, which causes partial loss of pigmentation, making her more visible to predators, and results in weaker feather condition. She will remain at the centre.
