Jeff

Jeff was admitted to Audubon in 1995 with a fractured left shoulder and right leg after being hit by a car. After completing treatment, Jeff’s flight was still limited and one leg was left shorter than the other.

After 13 years at the Center, Jeff laid an egg for the first time. You may hear Jeff make noises; Black Vultures are normally silent, but they can make soft “woof” and sneezing sounds.

Based on plumage, most male and female raptors look the same. Sex can often be determined by size as females are larger. However, the most accurate way to tell is a DNA test, or if the bird lays an egg!
