Turkey Vultures live ontop of the Samsung Building & LOVE to prech on out 9th & 10th floor window ledges, not to mention fly around the building. People are SOOOO scared of them. When I first heard about the birds, people were calling them giant killer birds!! :rolleyes: I had no idea what they were (they weren't here at the time) & I said ya its prob a Turkey Vulture, no biggy. Well I was right They are Turkey Vultures & they are scareing the hell out of people hehehe

Its a harmless bird, silly people

We had some around our neighborhood last summer, I live right next to a national park, and I thought it was really cool to see them!

They don't scare me... they're scavengers and like carrion, so they can have my body once I'm done with it:)

My dad always called them turkey buzzards, and I never realized they weren't turkeys until like... 3 years ago.

we don't have mant Ravens, but we have TOO many Crows heheh

Turkey Vultures don't only eat dead animals, they LOVE veggie gardens, esp Tomatoes! A friend had to tie her working dogs beside the garden as the darn vultures were eating everything!
