Black Vultures are native to southern North America, but recent climate shifts have expanded their range northward, with sightings of wild black vultures in Vermont in recent years. In addition to her missing right eye, Los Angeles has limited vision in her remaining left eye, and therefore VINS educators and trainers have had to get creative with her training, using sound, bright colors and her favorite food, chicken. As a member of VINS’ bird ambassador team, Los Angeles helps to educate the public about the important role that vultures play in their ecosystems.
