We seem them here sometimes.

I appreciate the work they do.

I sure don't want to do it.

There are 3 types of vultures, I don't think I've ever seen one though.

They somehow manage to be weird and majestic at the same time. They are kind of gross when hopping around on the ground or putting their head into the intestines of a corpse, but super majestic when sitting or flying.

I admire their way of life...just soaring in updrafts for hours on end, watching how life happens below, and only swooping down if there's a dead body to be taken care of.

They are one type of bird used in Sky Burials:

They are lovely

When I die I think it would be cool for my body to be fed to the vultures

I believe some cultures call that a "sky burial"

I would be happy to become vulture food

They are magnificent and noble beasts that are superbly adapted for what they do

Oh don't worry. No matter what, nature will provide for a seemless burial every time.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but let’s face it, those are ugly brutes.

These ****ers are worse though. Say hello to the Marabou Stork

I've seen those at a zoo!

I absolutely love them

I know a guy who looks like one

Here in Illannoying, we have mostly Turkey Vultures, and Black Vultures occasionally in central part of the state, but mostly in the south...

We have Turkey Vultures in my area and I have seen a few..... saw one hanging out on a baseball backstop with a bunch of crows once
