Why do people hate turkey vultures I mean look at them
They’re super curious and clever and have that sense of innocent mischief you’d expect from a puppy.
They’re pretty much solar powered and they assume The Stance while recharging
CUTE FLOOFY NECK FEATHERS THAT MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THEY’RE WEARING A TURTLE NECK!!
Since they lack the hooked talons of their raptor cousins, these lil dudes really can only use their beak to investigate stuff, so they just softly nibble things (until they decide that what they’re nibbling feels super fun to take apart and play with).
Plus their scientific name means Golden Purifier because of their golden brown feathers and the fact that they clean up all the nastiest bits of corpses.
They’re just.
Such Good Birds.
you are seriously underestimating the beak strength and shredding potential of an animal that regularly rips through deerhide on the side of the road
THEIR BITES HURT
A LOT
They do Ive been bitten by one
But i love them anyway they are good birbs
Yes, vultures are awesome! The vultures that I work with do regularly try to sample human flesh, but they are well-loved anyway!
If vultures didn’t get rid of roadkill and other carrion, who would? They’re good birbs!
30, She/her. Used to be DreamingPagan a long time back. Multi-fandom, mostly Black Sails these days but with a lot of Tolkien and funny things interspersed. Complete language and history nerd - be warned. I write fic and occasionally I talk about ships.
