ROYAL OAK, Mich. A young turkey vulture was given a second chance after Detroit Zoological Society (DZS) staff rescued the bird found trapped in a stairwell on a golf course in Huntington Woods, zoo officials said Monday. Wild turkey vultures are often spotted near the habitat roosting and sharing food with zoo vultures. When the bird was well enough, it joined the other wild turkey vultures. One day, the bird was gone, and thats exactly what we wanted to happen.Approximately 25 wild turkey vultures linger around the zoo throughout the winter season. Van Dam said staff believes the birds parents frequent the zoo and we hope they have reunited.
