Wildlife Gardening: Turkey Vultures in the City?, 1 by LizaMouse

Hello! I see that this is an old thread but I was excited to find someone else who likes turkey vultures! I have both TVs and black vultures around my house and have taken to scooping (fresh) roadkill (herbivores only) and placing it at the back of my property for the vultures to eat in safety. I too saw a speeding car completely ignore the group that had gathered around an armadillo in the road. Luckily I got to them first so they had begun to move away before the speeding car came by. She would have hit them all and I was so upset. I moved the armadillo to the grass and the next one I saw, I grabbed it and brought it home. They're really fascinating to watch. The most I have seen at one time was about 30 gliding overhead.

Anything that the vultures leave seems to disappear within a day or two. Plenty of other critters roaming around here to clean up any scraps.

And speaking of opossum babies...here's a photo to encourage opossum rescue. I don't know the origin of the photograph. My daughter sent it to me. Aren't they adorable?!
