Re: [Felvtalk] Turkey Vulture OT
You know, that may have been the Vulture's way of saying, "thanks," like when our kitties bring us their kill, which really is an honor. It's just that creatures' tastes and ours are different! Nice of your friend to help such a special critter!

Enjoyed hearing about your turkey vulture. Wow! I used to do wildlife rehab and had two young red tailed hawks who were brought to me when the tree their nest was in was cut down.
