The Turkey Vulture
The Turkey vulture latin name is Cathartes aura.It's about 26 to 32 inches long with a 6 feet wingspread. It has a naked bright redhead with black feathers and tail. They are very calm birds. Even though it is a big bird they get driven of by black vultures, hawks, and other species. These animals live around open areas (farmland, forest, and grasslands. This have a low concern. Also they never attack living prey. They prefer eating dead animals. They don't eat the dead animal right away they wait until it softens so they can pierce the skin. They find these dead animals because of there great sense of smell. Also they mostly eat mammals. Also they don't have a voice box. So they can't sing or call.
