Lucy the Turkey Vulture

Lucy hatched in the wild in 2001. She was illegally taken into captivity when she was a nestling and kept as a pet. She was confiscated but had already become imprinted on people. She has taken to her education role as an avian ambassador for vultures around the world. Whether she is taking a walk around the courtyard, flying overhead, or soaking up the sun she helps visitors fall in love with nature's recyclers!
