SEBRING — Few places in Florida nurse wild bald eagles back to health, but David Wrede said that Wrede's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center does that. He fixes their wings as well as owls, hawks and geese that are all native to the area. On the side, he even houses a few peacocks, cougars and a lone coyote. Although the three bald eagles at Wrede's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center couldn't be released because they had permanent injuries such as a blind right eye in "Thunder's" case, David Wrede said he was looking for volunteers to help some of the 600 to 1,000 other animals that go through the center each year so they can return to the wild. He and his wife Karen Wrede ran the rehab center at Wilderness Trail south of Sebring for more than 18 years, but David said that they had to slow down because of health problems and they've been focusing mostly on birds. He hoped the volunteers could help him expand the center's efforts with mammals and reptiles. ...more
