Happy International Vulture Day to our two king vultures, Tex and Hissy! Of course, Chico, the caracara wanted to be involved, too. 😄 Many species of vulture are listed as endangered or threatened.

Our beautiful king vulture Clark celebrated his 21st birthday with one of his favorite treats, a large knuckle bone.
