“You have flown so far and been loved so much.”
Andy N. Condor was a beloved and long-standing resident of the Aviary, an ambassador for his species over his 64 years of life. He helped to educate Tracy Aviary visitors as well as his thousands of social media fans around the world about the crucial role vultures play in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Read more about Andy’s legacy here.
Tracy Aviary will be commissioning a statue of Andy (details to come) so that his many friends around the world will be able to visit him still, and so that he will always be seen and have a home at the Aviary.
We invite you to continue sharing your memories on these Facebook or Instagram posts as we celebrate Andy’s life.
If you would like to help fund the memorial statue, you can do so here. The statue will be created regardless of how much is given in memory of Andy, but as a nonprofit our funds are always tight and so we appreciate your support in helping make this happen. A statue is estimated to cost $50,000.
We are thankful for the memories of Andy everyone has shared with us. A photo gallery of shared photos can be viewed here
