Good thread. I think vultures are such interesting birds and I wish the general public would appreciate them just a little bit more.
You know... They can be rather cute, as long as they're not keel-deep in a deer's festering guts...
>>4873258Black Cultures are adorable little shits. They mate for life, and they live in colonies. If one is cheating and the colony finds out, they'll all gang up on it and beat the fuck out of it. They are ridiculously intelligent.

>>4873072Old Mediterranean cultures associated them with fate and the gods. Romans noted their silence, association with the dead, and general mysterious nature and imposing presence (makes sense given they would have been most familiar with bearded and Egyptian vultures). Additionally, many parts of the Bible that we translate to "Eagle" were probably originally meant to refer to vultures (the exact meaning of the Greek is uncertain and could refer to either, but the symbolic nature of vultures and how it refers to them as "colorful" matches a lot more with old world vultures than really any species of eagle they would have been familiar with). Very cool birdies.

>>4875188Female Andean Condor. Males look quite different.
>>4875352Curiously, they are a bird of prey species where the male is actually larger than the female.

>>4873072Vultures may be the single less apperciated type of bird, everyone thinks they are disgusting and fowl, but without us the world would be a lot worse
