It's #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay! Come meet our vulture family in our new mixed-species exhibit! These scavengers play a vital role in keeping ecosystems clean, and also prevent the spread of disease. Fun fact: Turkey vultures vomit when threatened—and it smells awful! 🤢 https://t.co/ZSHwCOZEdl

Apparently it’s #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay It so happens I have some vulture sketches in the vault! Here’s some life sketches of turkey vultures done at a bird rescue years ago. Big cool hulking birds, with weird bald heads and odd holes over their beaks! #art #birdart #SciArt #NatureArt

#SciArtSeptember Day 7: Rot

Turkey vultures don't actually prefer "rotten" meat, just meat they don't have to dispatch personally. They generally avoid anything more than a day or two old.

Bubba is a Ruppell's vulture- the highest flying bird in the world, reaching 37k ft! This endangered bird is native to Africa & has a beak powerful enough to break & crunch bones. #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay https://t.co/37ySRl4tMF

In celebration of International Vulture Awareness Day, here's a repost of some turkey vulture (𝘊𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢) glamor shots I took last August:

September 7 is #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay - They may not look pretty but they are essential to ecosystems. This is a turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) that I photographed in Campbell River, Vancouver Island.

Today is International Vulture Awareness Day. 🖤 🤍 ❤️ 🥰

Not every bird is tiny and cute. Not every bird sings a beautiful song. But we love vultures just the same, including their grunts, hisses, and clacks (they don't have a syrinx, so they can't sing like other birds). Without them, the world would be a messy place with dangerous diseases spreading everywhere. Nature made vultures her cleanup crew and gave them stomach acid with a pH of 1 to destroy things like rabies, anthrax, and botulism. When vultures are killed or die off, feral dogs often take their place, and disease (especially rabies) begins to spread.

Vultures are beautiful birds. They are clean and love to bathe as often as possible and preen after every meal. They mate for life and are wonderful parents. To watch them soar is to see beauty on the wing.

Below is an #IVAD poster created to honor Andy N. Condor, one of the greatest ambassadors for vulture you could ever imagine. He had a long life with many friends, passing away just two weeks ago.

We will miss you, Andy. Soar high on the thermals, look down on us, and keep us safe. 🖤 🤍 🖤 💗 💚 🌈 🌈 🌈

I hear it's International Vulture Awareness Day, so here's a Turkey Vulture skull I 3d modeled and printed. Designed to be handle-able for doing outreach and #SciComm.

These will be available in my Etsy store when I re-open in a few days. :)

On #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay I want you to be aware two of my local faves: the California condor and the Turkey vulture!

Unlike most other birds, Turkey Vultures have a good sense of smell. With their wide nasal openings, they can sniff rotting flesh 50 miles away. Their bare head helps them to stay clean when scavenging. https://www.naturecompanion.ca/birds/turkvult/ #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay
