A baby vulture at a New York zoo is being fed not by another bird but by a hand puppet — a decades-old technique used to ensure the chick doesn’t identify too closely with its human handlers.

"The chick is being hand-raised using a hand puppet that helps prevent young birds from imprinting on humans, and ensures it grows into a healthy adult," the Bronx Zoo shared in its release.

In the edited video, complete with special effects, Dolores and Paulie can be seen sipping on espresso martinis, eating some delicious looking food (including sushi), and talking to one another.
