About 2 days ago I found a male monarch crawling on the grass unable to fly. I took him home and noticed the base of his upper left wing was damaged. I decided to keep him a bit while I figured out what to do. Then today he almost broke off the base while attempting to fly. So I looked up on the internet how to repair a broken wing. Now, the website showed how to repair outer damage and not how to repair it if it was broken at the base. So I decided to see what I could do to repair it myself. Here's a picture of the guy after surgery.
He was a wonderful patient!
Here's the great website that shows how to repair broken wings!
