Venue, a Turkey Vulture, came to the MRP in 2011 with a fractured right wing. Due to the severity and the location of the injury, Venue was not able to be released. Turkey Vultures spend a great deal of time soaring and migrate in the spring and fall. The amount of time in the air would put a great deal of stress on the injured wing. The name was chosen because a group of vultures is called a venue.
Turkey Vultures are diurnal raptors, meaning that they are active during the day and sleep at night. They are about 2- 1/2 feet tall, have a wing span of over 6 feet and they can weigh up to 4 pounds. They are common and widespread throughout North America.
Thank you for supporting Venue the Turkey Vulture..
