Today is International Vulture Awareness Day and we felt sharing this story today would
This young Turkey Vulture was rescued on 8/5 and brought to Soarin' Hawk. The caller thought the youngster had a possible wing injury. He still had some of his downy feathers on him. We x-rayed his wing and didn't see anything wrong on the x-ray, but his wing had a slight droop. We gave him some TLC but very soon, he let us know he didn't like us (which is actually a good sign)! He was moved outside info a small mew and then went into one of our flight pens. After a few weeks of flight conditioning, he was flying beautifully and was ready to be released! Our volunteer Nancy found a nice area for his release, where there were other vultures. Have a good life little one!
