Couple shocked as vulture falls through roof of their home after its wings froze solid in blizzard... but flies off after it thaws

A frozen turkey vulture fell out of the South Dakota skies on Tuesday - after its wings become iced over as it was flying through a severe blizzard.
The unfortunate bird landed with a thud on the porch of Sioux Falls pastor Adam Weber, sat straight upright and then made to hide under a table on the decking.
'My wife was making breakfast, and she suddenly yelled, "Adam! A large bird just fell out of the sky!",' said Weber to the Argus Leader about the appearance of the unexpected guest.

Again: Incredibly, this wasn't the first frosty bird to land on Weber's house. A second turkey vulture fell from the sky onto his roof, but hasn't moved and appears to be dead
Weber, who is a pastor at Embrace Church, explained that the bird was totally iced over and managed to sit straight upright under the table on the deck.
The bird moved around a bit, letting Weber know it was still alive, and allowed him to get close enough to it to take a photo.
