Turkey Vultures survive on rotting flesh, neutralize deadly pathogens with insanely strong stomach acid, and defend themselves by firing a blast of acidic puke. They even sanitize their legs with their own poop. Disgusting? Yes. But also the reason our landscapes aren’t filled with disease-ridden carcasses.

This juvenile Turkey Vulture is recovering in our clinic after likely being hit by a car. Fortunately, he has no fractures, but he currently has no use of his legs and is being treated for a spinal injury. ❤️‍🩹 Because he’s under a year old, his head hasn’t yet turned the bright red you see in adult Turkey Vultures. Another interesting fact: unlike many birds, Turkey Vultures don’t have songs or cries. Instead, they communicate with hisses and this rattling sound you hear in the video. 🔈 Help

Turkey vultures are amazing because their digestive system kills many contagious organisms which prevents the spread of anthrax, botulism, rabies, cholera, tuberculosis and salmonella. This bird recovered pretty quickly and went home today. Be sure to watch the video until the end. We
