Happy Turkey Vulture Tuesday!
Our education ambassador Persephone is showing off her incredible sense of smell by finding food that has been hidden in this enrichment toy. We love to offer our ambassadors enrichment to not only encourage their brains to work, but also motivate them to exhibit their natural instincts!

Owl species like our Great Horned Owl ambassador Collin, have tube shaped eyes meaning they can't move their eyes left and right or up and down like humans can. To account for this they are able to turn their heads about 260 degrees each way to see behind them! Talk about having eyes on the back of your head! 👀

Wish List Wednesday!
We need more freezer alarm censors! We have over a dozen freezers that hold the very expensive food our raptors need. Currently, our volunteers check each freezer twice daily to make sure they are on and at the correct temperature. One freezer failure can destroy nearly a month's worth of food. These sensors make things really easy - they tell our phones when a freezer turns off or if the temperature changes too much.
If you can help us get all our freezers alarmed, we'd really appreciate the help! See our Amazon wish list to purchase the exact type we need: https://a.co/9qdgkhk
We already have the operation "hub" for these sensors, so we are just asking for the sensors at this time.
Thanks everyone!!!
