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 flying overhead in the Open Skye Theater or soaking up the sun, she helps visitors fall in love with nature's recyclers!
