The North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre (NIWRC) is treating another sacred white raven of the Oceanside, B.C., area after it was found clinging to life last month.

The bird was found in the Errington area of Vancouver Island at the beginning of May.

It was malnourished, riddled with infection and was in worse condition than the first white raven that the centre ever treated just last year.

Due to the bird's friendly personality and the fact that the centre now has a blueprint on how to treat the animal, the new white raven has made a miraculous recovery and is now healthy.

The NIWRC adds that the sacred white raven won't be returning to the wild because of its leucism ailment, which strips melanin from the bird and is not beneficial for survival.

But, because of his friendly demeanor and personality, the centre is currently training the bird to be an ambassador.

The future new star doesn’t have a name yet, and the centre is looking for something that represents its personality.
