Seventeen vultures were rushed to the Wildlife Center and given shots in the belly for hydration. Once they were given fluid and weighed, they were placed into cages and warmed up by heat lamps.
Fish and Wildlife officers said they did not immediately know the cause of the apparent illness. Poison from humans, food or inexperience migrating to South Florida could be factors.
As of Wednesday morning, 16 of the birds had survived. A necropsy will be performed on vulture that did not survive to determine what caused its death.
