Turkey Vulture!

5 days ago by marighost to c/birding

A common fellow to be sure, but not one I had personally seen (since starting birdwatching) and certainly unexpected in my neighborhood first thing in the morning. I had no clue how big these guys got, scared the hell out of me at first πŸ˜…

I do my best to educate and entertain!

I've only briefly worked with one wild baby turkey vulture, but our 2 ambassadors, Zsa-Zsa the turkey vulture and Reaper the Black vulture are such sweet birds. I love them so much!

Don't get too close to them things they like to puke rotten meat in your direction to scare you off.

And they pee down their legs for that sweet evaporative cooling effect.

Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.
