Black
Vulture
This
vulture was found in September of 2003 after he had been tethered
to a pole for approximately a month. It is unclear what the
vulture was fed but a bone density test showed he had not received
the calcium he needed to build strong bones that enable him
to fly.
After his rescue, he has
been fed the correct foods, including foods high in calcium,
and his health has improved dramatically. His bones need to
become stronger so that he will be able to fly without injuring
himself.
We attempted to release
this vulture but due to his early life he had already been imprinted
to trust humans. He is now an educational animal and helps us
educate people on the dangers to animals when they interfere
with an animal's young life.
