Cindy Palmatier at the Bird Treatment and Learning Center says staff there decided to turn to dentist Kirk Johnson, who thought of patching up the beak with the same material used to make temporary crowns for people.
The "crown" is being held on with poster putty, and Johnson colored it in using highlighter to give it a yellow tint.
The bird center says the eagle is doing just fine but won't be able to return to the wild.
