Turkey Vulture Treated For Poisoning

We received a call about a grounded turkey vulture in a residential area that was following the caller’s young son around in the snow. We quickly and easily captured and transported the vulture back to Sweet Binks.

At Sweet Binks, we started protocol for rodenticide poisoning and gradually increased feedings with EmerAid Intensive Care Carnivore. Over several weeks our young vulture friend grew strong, gained weight, had an incredible appetite and was eventually released.

This successful rehabilitation of this incredible bird was one of the highlights of our rehabilitation year. Thank you to EmerAid for helping us help this vulture!
