When rescuers found an injured stork in the Latvian countryside, they weren't sure how to help him. His legs were badly hurt, and despite medical treatment and therapy, he was unable to stand or walk without pain.

Does anyone know if the files for this model are publicly available? We are trying to fix a leg on a small chicken and this might help.
