How cool are these!? These custom 3D-printed puppet heads were designed and created by @westernu.ca engineering students, then brought to life by the incredible talent of local artist CJ Artwork. They’ll help us safely feed our youngest raptor patients while reducing human contact!

Today is International Vulture Awareness Day and we wanted to make sure you were aware of how cool (oops we mean chic) Turkey Vultures are!
They are Ontario’s only native vulture, they puke when threatened, pee on their feet, prevent the spread of disease, and they play an important role in nature!

This young Turkey Vulture was found grounded and looking pretty out of it, but otherwise okay.
