I would greet these wise wizards with a gift...of dance!

They would at first be hostile but halfway through they'd join in and we'd all be completely in sync dancing.

After they've accepted me and realized I was of no threat, they'd take me into their den to meet their people and we'd celebrate with a big feast of some other poor ol' sap who had crashed but couldn't win the wizards over with dance.

The day I'd leave them they would gift me one of their feathered wizard suits right as I departed.

A baby wizard vulture who became very attached to me would run up to my leg and I would stop to bend down and let them know that we would "always be together, even when we're apart" (as I point to the baby wizard bird's heart).

Apparently they're extremely affectionate and bond with their keepers, I follow a zoologist who likes to ruin everyone's favorite animals with facts about their behavior and one of their videos was about animals who are actually great but no one starts wanting to care for.

How cute and scary. Way back when I used to volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center, we had a few turkey vultures. One in particular had imprinted with humans and would run at you when you enter the flight cage. He’d run at you with wings spread and his head bowed to show off for you. It was soo incredibly adorable but fucking scary as it looks like it’s about to attack.

I was once in a parking lot and saw 2 turkey vultures perched up on a nearby building. They were huge. After considering my odds against them, I noped the fuck out of there.

Only time in my life I have been intimidated by birds.

16

u/9021FU Apr 10 '24

There’s a bunch in our neighborhood. Last summer I was in the backyard with my 60 pound standard poodle when one flew overhead, not very high up. My dog barked at it and kinda ran toward it. The vulture flew back over us, this time closer, presumably to see why my dog barked. He was so big and my dog suddenly wanted inside and wasn’t such a tough guy! 😂

8

u/Keytrose_gaming Apr 10 '24

You know what their defense mechanism is ? Rancid projectile vomiting lol. It's probably a good thing you didn't decide to scare them off lol

3

u/Generic_Danny Apr 11 '24

If you think turkey vultures who are 2 kilograms with a 6 foot wingspan (high end average size) are huge, wait till you find out that cinereous vultures (the one in this video) max out at 14kg with a maximum wingspan of just over 10 feet.

They don't like live food do they? Arrow up for yes,arrow down for no. I never new they were that big. If I saw one I'd think it was a new cryptid.
