Vinnie Shows Off 2

Vinnie the turkey vulture is a permanent resident at our local wildlife rescue center; he was acclimated to humans at another center, and when released merely returns, unable to get by in the wild.  He's a bit of a ham, happy to show off, and loves to chew on shoe laces.  I find him to be a sweet bird, but keep in mind that he IS a vulture, and that beak of his is quite dangerous, even if he means well.

Here is some video of him: Vinnie Shows Off
Vinnie Wants Out

You can find plenty of old videos and pictures, and even animated gifs, in my gallery and youtube account.

Also, here is his neighbor, another acclimated permanent resident, Hamlet the barred owl: A Talk with Hamlet
