🦅 International Vulture Awareness Day 🦅

Today we are celebrating some of the natural world’s most misunderstood and most important birds: VULTURES!

Vultures play a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy. As nature’s clean-up crew, they dispose of carcasses quickly and efficiently, helping to recycle nutrients and reduce the spread of disease.

Sadly, many vulture species around the world are facing serious threats, including poisoning, habitat loss and human persecution. International Vulture Awareness Day is a chance to appreciate these incredible birds and highlight just how important their conservation is.

Here at Liberty’s, vulture conservation is something we’re incredibly passionate about. We are proud to house multiple species of vultures and actively work to breed them as part of our commitment to their long term conservation. While also giving us the opportunity to educate our visitors about these remarkable birds, the threats they face in the wild and why protecting them is so important.

By working with and breeding several different vulture species, we hope to play our part in securing a future for these incredible birds while inspiring the next generation to care about their conservation.

Today, we’re giving vultures the appreciation they deserve.

A Face You Don’t See Every Day 📸

Up close, the Macleay’s stick insect looks less like a twig and more like a tiny alien from another world. 👀🌿

Nature hides incredible detail in the smallest places, sometimes all it takes is a closer look.
