Loading bio data
Voodoo was the loner of her cohort. She tended to stay perched while the others fed or feed while the others are perched. Although Voodoo liked to keep to herself on the perch, she occasionally enjoyed jumping around in circles with food and feathers held in her bill. Was this simple play behavior or was she up to something? Voodoo was named after an incredible plane. In 1957, the Voodoo set a world speed record of traveling 1,207.6 MPH. Like the plane, Voodoo might not have looked like much and we never knew quite what Voodoo was thinking, but she was not to be underestimated.

After her release she spent several months hanging around close to the release site, getting her bearings. One day she decided to take a trip, and in about ten hours she flew over one hundred miles, all the way down to Santa Barbara. After a few weeks hanging out with a large flock of Turkey Vultures on and around Vandenberg Air Force Base, she made her way back up north. Before her untimely death she made another trip down south to visit her new friends in the Southern CA condor flock. Unfortunately she was found drowned in an uncovered water tank. In her short time in the wild, she proved to be a very independent and adventurous bird, and we were looking forward to seeing where she would go next.
