Like Uncle Joe said, Grandpa helped out for International Vulture Awareness Day at our zoo.  Most other zoos also had events; maybe you went to the one in the London Zoo.  There were lots of things to do, mostly for kids:  coloring games, vomit toss, a vulture nest for pictures, and an ol dame dressed up like a farmer telling a story about Fred the vulture.  I think I was there because I was the oldest buzzard they could find.

This is the wingspan of the Cinereous Vultures, my favorite at the zoo.  It has a nine foot wingspan.

They had some vulture food there too.  Kind of hard to see, but some zoo visitors were surprised that vultures ate little bunnies, rats, etc.

The old buzzard that was telling stories is on the left.  She had to be loaded to do that.

Another view of the buzzard queen.

They even had a vulture dance/rap.  The guy was pretty good; in real life he's a janitor at the zoo. 

This is supposed to be video of the vulture rap.  It downloaded ok, but wasn't playing; maybe you can make it work.

These pictures are of the cinereous vultures.  I know Maddie and Henry have seen them.   They are named Boris and Natasha.  I'm told that when Boris adds a stick to their nest, Natasha picks up and puts it somewhere else.   Hmmm....

So, that's the report on Vulture Awareness Day.  More later...
