Pearl, the Turkey Vulture

Turkey vultures are smart and inquisitive.  They need opportunities to explore, manipulate, and problem solve especially in captivity.  Pearl’s enrichment includes “puzzle” boxes with food inside, stuffed toys, dog toys, leafy greens (to shred!), a wide variety of food, and exploring the nature center and trails.  She also enjoys playing with towels!

What’s In The Woods?

Many flowers are in bloom in the Nature Playscape! Unlike the Preserve where everything is protected, it is okay for kids to pick flowers in the Nature Playscape. On your next visit, we hope your kids will explore the difference colors, textures and shapes of our flowers.
