Lil' goofy alien head
That's a baby vulture
One of the many reasons I love turkey vultures.
- they have a featherless head so they can get wings deep into carcasses without getting overly messy #cleaneating
- they constantly piss all over themselves to cool off/deter insects #sustainabilitygoals
- in the event they’re attacked while eating, they’ll projectile vomit rancid flesh on their attacker as a deterrent, and to lighten their weight for a speedy escape #FAFO
I got married at a nature center and one of the educational birds, a vulture named Talulah, was everyone’s favorite “invited guest” at the reception (a screech owl named Tucker was also a favorite)

What a cool idea!
Fun fact I just learned also- their genus, Cathartes
is the Greek word καθαρτής, for "purifier," referring to these vultures' role as "cleansers" that "tidy up" decomposing corpses in nature.
