Turkey’s have large white patches that run the entire length of their wings, longer tails, and a bright red head if you are close enough to see it. As the sun warms the Earth, it also warms the air. The Turkey Vulture tends to forage solitarily, but individuals attracted to other feeding vultures often congregate at carcasses. The roosts range in size from a few birds to several thousand. The turkey vulture urinates on its legs. Turkey Vultures are large dark birds with long, broad wings. The reason why it is called the New World vulture is because it has nothing to do with the Old World vultures that inhabit Europe, Asia and Africa. Omnipresent and homely, turkey vultures are a native California wildlife species that doesn't get a lot of research attention. But UC Cooperative Extension advisor Greg Giusti has found a surprising level of interest from the public in his Northern California research project about turkey vultures' nesting preferences in oak woodland.

VOGUL, JR. ON May 30, 1947, an adult Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura, was found inside the hollow base of a tall sycamore tree, in a densely wooded area near Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana. Both the male and the female incubate the eggs for 28 days. Turkey vulture is a scavenger and its symbolism is mostly influenced by its behavior.
Turkey vulture belongs to the family of Cathartidae and it is usually called the New World vulture. The most characteristic behavior of vultures is their soaring behavior.
The chicks fledge when they are 9-10 weeks old. Both parents feed the chicks regurgitated food. Black Vultures and Turkey Vultures look similar in flight, but there are some key differences. The female turkey vulture lays 1-2 eggs under a bush, in a hollow log, under large rocks, or in a cave. Communal Turkey Vulture roosts facilitate group foraging and social interactions; the roosts range in size from a few birds to several thousand, often include Black Vultures, and are sometimes “advertised” by spectacular evening flights.
