A vet who carried out reconstructive surgery on a kite's beak says the procedure was so successful "you wouldn't know it had been done".

Beaky broke his beak after growing too big inside his egg and had emergency work carried out when he was nine days old.

"I had to break the mandible in exactly the right place and then fix a human dental acrylic material to the whole of the lower beak, both underneath it and inside it, rather like putting a slipper on it, to fix it in the right position," said veterinary surgeon Neil Forbes.

"The bird has done really well and what's most important, we have a technique we can use on even more conservationally endangered species in the future,鈥� he added.
