Item Description
A portrait of the RMRP educational Turkey Vulture ornaments this emu egg in a loving memorial of our Turkey Vulture that served as an Educational Ambassador for 33 years. By artist and former volunteer - Katey Godsey.
In Memory of Educational Ambassador Turkey Vulture:
This Turkey Vulture was admitted mid-winter of 1988. In early fall, Turkey Vultures migrate from Colorado to the gulf coast and into South America. So when RMRP received a call in mid-winter about a Turkey Vulture on the ground in a pasture, we already knew he was in trouble. Diagnostics revealed that he had an old, healed fracture of the left wrist and severe arthritis, which is often associated with old fractures. This gives him a wing droop preventing flight of more than short distances.
This bird came in with adult plumage, so we are not certain about his age when he passed away December 31, 2021. His legacy has changed the views of thousands of people about Turkey Vultures and created a culture of appreciation for these amazing nature's recyclers.
