When it comes to health care, human beings have it pretty good, and so do our pets and domestic animals. But did you ever think of what happens to wild animals, especially birds, when they become sick or injured? Well, Ken Wilshire met a fellow in Memphis recently who has devoted much of his life to taking care of some very special feathered.

Ken Wilshire joined the Tennessee Crossroads in 2008 with a desire to tell stories about people who have found their passions in life and who would otherwise go unrecognized for their contributions to their community. Ken began his career at WREG-TV in Memphis, writing, producing and editing news stories, features and documentaries. After leaving Channel 3 he joined Fed Ex in their communications department as a writer/producer and was promoted to the department manager. Ken spent almost 25 years in operations management at FedEx and other Fortune 500 companies.
