Turkey vultures are cool. I’ve been handling the resident turkey vulture at Sulphur Creek, Prince Charming, and although yes, he’s thrown up on me (as TVs are wont to do), and yes, he weighs a ton and makes your arm tired, he’s pretty great and is actually very easy to handle, other than his weight. People tend to hate vultures but they are extremely important parts of our ecosystem and are generally very nice birds. You should thank a vulture today for his service to mankind and the rest of the planet by cleaning up carcasses!
