"It was feeding time Saturday at the Zoo in Albuquerque's Bio-Park when a woman and her 10-year-old son walked up to the Birds of Prey exhibit and saw something upsetting.That's because what was being served to the fowl was quite the foul sight. She spoke about their experience on the condition of anonymity.\"He didn't want to go in there,\" she said. \"Severed goat heads scattered throughout the entire habitat. It was pretty bloody as you can see.\"\u00A0VIDEO:\u00A0Birds of prey eating goat heads during feedingShe emailed pictures of the heads to KOAT Action 7 News to get some answers.\"Most of the time they get processed meat,\" said zoo manager Lynn Tupa. \"Looks like hamburgers.\"Occasionally, Tupa says farms will donate dead goats, sheep, or lamb.\"We give out the carcasses to encourage natural behavior,\" Tupa said.She said they had placed the goat's head way at the back of the exhibit but it ended up close enough for people to see because the birds dragged them closer to the viewing area.\"It's very important to the animals, and I think it's a learning experience for the rest of the public who want to know,\" Tupa said.There were no animal heads on Monday, but those visiting with children said they would have explained the feeding to their young one.\"It might bother them, but I think I would have explained it and said this is what would happen in nature,\" said one visitor.The mom who contacted Action 7 News said she understands that, \"But I wouldn't want any child to see that before they were ready.\"The zoo says it's sensitive to their patrons' concerns, so from now on, signs will warn visitors when carcasses are being fed to the animals.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
