Vultures are very calm. Remember - they don't have to hunt for food and aggressively attack it. They're the road crew that cleans up. They may bite if threatened but usually they throw up. Imagine how unpleasant that would be - recycled road kill. Very effective weapon. Ruby is imprinted on humans. Someone must have found her as a chick and hand-raised her. She's very comfortable with humans and flirts when we come by.
I wouldn't normally think of a vulture as good looking, but she's a handsome bird! I'll keep my distance if I see one. Recycled roadkill sounds VERY effective as a deterrent! I've been in Arizona a lot lately and they are abundant here. I am assuming the ones I see are turkey vultures here. I remember seeing the black vultures in Everglades.
WOW! AMAZING! I am so scared of these things! They throw up when nervous? Me too! lol Just kidding. Wow! This is so neat--the pictures and the information! Their claws and beak are sooo freaky looking!
