Another really kind of unfortunate habit that they have is if you corner them, instead of trying to peck you, what they do is they projectile vomit to you, like an exorcist type thing where it just comes out. And, you know, vomit by itself is already bad, but vomit of decaying dead animals that they have been eating, that'll make you an instant gag reflex.

They have a lot of natural tolerance, natural resistance to all the bacteria and infective elements that are found in dead and decaying animals. But they pay a very important service to us. I mean, I don't want to go out there and have to pick up that raccoon off the road. If the vulture is going to eat it, it's a win-win.

No, it'll never take you, David. They don't want anything to do with anybody live. They will fly away. You won't be able to even get close to them. They're up on that balcony on the top floors there because that's where they're safe from any predators on the ground, cats, dogs, or anything like that. So that's a natural instinct. Plus, also, they really don't fly well until they get the...

You know, the thermals. Yeah, they're gliding, Ron. I see them glide. That's right. They glide. As a matter of fact, just recently something happened that is a phenomenon. It doesn't happen all the time, but it has happened in the past where they just rescued like 40 vultures out of the ocean, out of the bay, because they were flying and using the thermals.

And then there was a big temperature change. All of a sudden came in the front. The thermal disappeared and all the vultures literally plummeted to the ocean. And once they hit the water, they couldn't get out of the water again. Several of them drowned. Several of them were saved.

But this is a phenomenon that happens rarely, but it is an incredible phenomenon when all of a sudden all these vultures just fall out of the sky.

Well, the fact of the matter is it's illegal to purposely feed wild animals. Well, that would not be a legal thing for you to do to bait vultures with something out there.

If a raccoon happened to die on the 36th floor of wherever you're staying and was on the ledge. Oh, heck, I think putting your camera there would be cool as heck.

Turkey vultures, there's also the black-headed vultures too. There's two species that we find down here, the black-headed vultures and the turkey vultures. Okay. Initially it was just turkey vultures, but now we're seeing a lot more of the black-headed vultures.

And what you see the most is if you drive down the turnpike and you drive some of these landfills, the dumps, you'll see them like by the 100s. flying over the dumps looking for food.

Oh man, I guess, you know, people who throw out rotten food from their refrigerator, you know, that they're spoiled. That's the ultimate buffet for these vultures. The worse it smells, the more rotten it smells, the more delicious it is for them. And also, you know, understand when meat rots, it becomes much more tender, so it's easy for them to eat.
