Turkey Vulture

Lurch was found along a roadside in western Colorado unable to fly. He was taken to a wildlife center in the area and treated for a fractured humerus. Due to the nature of the fracture, Lurch was left with a disabled wing.

Lurch stayed at that center for 20 years as an educational resident. That facility closed, and Lurch was placed with another educator for a couple of years. Unfortunately that facility closed as well and once again Lurch was in search of a new home.

Luckily he found our center and joined our staff in 2007. Charming and charismatic, Lurch warms the hearts of all he meets making him a valued staff member.
