Mr and Mrs. Vulture annonce the virth of their twin babies, Vivian Vulture and Valentino Vulture! :-):-):-) These cuties joined Auntie Merry Myrtle and Uncle Frankie as part of their pack today. Actually, they may have peeped out of their shells yesterday.
The Mom and Dad have been soooo attentive ever since the eggs were laid. They rotated out twice a day and now, looks like it will be even more often.
The pictures don't show you how cute and soooo fluffy they are! Their little heads and mouths appear to be black. One is bigger than the other.
Notice in the video how the parent pulls the smaller one closer. Sooo sweet! And the noises you hear are 100% from the parent. They've been very good about letting me peek in periodically on them and it doesn't seem to overly upset them. Still, I won't abuse the privilege.
Two beautiful baby Vultures:
California girl Jasper Lily will be bringing stuffies to da' Va. Pawty! Merry Myrtle and Frankie will be bringing baby Vulture stuffies to da' Va. Pawty!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Oh wow! Vultures!! Another thing we don't have over here!! They're a lot cuter than I thought they would be!!
And Valentino Vulture is too funny!! 😊 He should make and sell his own line of overpriced hand bags!
Guardian of Manni the Wonderdog. -Or was it the other way around?
Osteo and amputation in Dec 2015. Second, inoperable, primary osteosarcoma found in June 2017.
The end of our adventures came Dec 10, 2017. 2 years to the day.
Now THAT is super duper cool! I love that you are caring for them. Vultures do a great service in nature, and so do you 🙂

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
This is way cool! They are so CUTE! The babies, that is. Not so sure about hissing Mama. Gee, I only have baby geese I am waiting for. Lori, Ty and gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Ruh roh!!! RUUUUHHHHHH ROOOOOOOOH! OOOOMMMMMMVVVVVVVVVVVVVV!!! Kissses hissssses kisssses hissseeeeessssssss hissssssssssssssssss ... (DaRuby Roo does NOT approve but DaBears are fascinated...CharlieBear-and previously Heffalump- when seeing Vivian and Valentino's cousins above the pasture- both would deeply WOOF WOOF WOOF and try to jump up into the sky. Not that Pyrs jump that well, ahem...Can only think that goes back to their livestock guardian ways. Heffalump would get so enamored he would race around and follow the flight pattern...can only imagine what would happen if they met on the ground!)
Too adorable!!! Love that you shared them with us!!!
Thank you everybody!!! 🙂 It's so much fun reading your replies!! 🙂 We've got the nicest groupp of peopl here! 🙂 🙂 🙂
So it's a day ir two shy of their two week birthday. I think you can see how they've grown a little bit. They both appear to be about the same size now. Look at that "wing span" already!
They made their Mom a Mother's Day card. Such thoughtful little Vultures 🙂
Baby Vulture Viviian & Baby Vulture Valentino:
