Our World of Wings exhibit houses our Andean condor, great grey owl and King vulture species.
King vultures are listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List, with main threats from habitat loss and poisoning through predating on animals that have died from ingesting pesticides.
The great grey owl, like so many of the other large owls, has a booming voice which carries over large distances. Its alarm call consists of a single loud hoot, followed by several softer notes.
The Andean condors are large, New World vultures who are closely related to the Turkey vulture and the King vulture.
