#FeatheredFriday Vulture Update: We recently welcomed our resident cinereous vulture, Walter, back home from his stay-cation at the North Carolina Zoo and we hinted that the Species Survival Plan® (SSP) had big plans for him. Well those big plans have been realized this week! While Walter was away, the Bird Department was working to arrange the transfer of 9 year old Meera (pictured here) from the Virginia Zoo. She has arrived and Walter and Meera (meaning beautiful light in Hindi) are now getting to know each other!#FeatheredFriday Vulture Update: We recently welcomed our resident cinereous vulture, Walter, back home from his stay-cation at the North Carolina Zoo and we hinted that the Species Survival Plan® (SSP) had big plans for him.
