Let’s Celebrate Vultures!
Photo / Blue Ridge Wildlife Center
This vulture duo (a Black Vulture and a Turkey Vulture) came to Blue Ridge Wildlife Center as babies after being found and raised by members of the public. Despite all attempts by BRWC staff to make them suitable for the wild, their lack of fear towards people made it unsafe to release them. Vultures are a very important part of our ecosystem, so we decided to make them Ambassadors on our Wildlife Walk. As two healthy, fully-flighted raptors, they need plenty of room to fly and play, so we built them a new (and very large) enclosure!
Join us on October 3rd for this Wildlife Guardian exclusive event, and be the first to see their new home, find out their genders, and learn their names. This event includes an educational program about vultures (and cupcakes)!
Tickets are free but required, as quantities are limited. This event will take place outside. Masks are required.
- When: Sunday, October 3, from 11:30am – 12:30pm
- Where: 106 Island Farm Lane, Boyce, VA 22620
