Vulture is a common name for two groups of carrion-eating birds. They feed almost entirely on carrion. But occasionally they will attack newborn or wounded living animals. Most hunt by sight, soaring and watching for other vultures descending to feed. A few of the American vultures have a well-developed sense of smell.
All vultures are large birds with a naked head and hooked bill.
They are unique among most birds for being bald. Because of the nature of their feeding habits they tend to stick their head and beaks into places where all type of mites and bacteria live. Our Creator has designed them without feathers on top of their head for a reason. Without top feathers there is nothing for the potentially dangerous bacteria and mites to cling to and multiply. Their baldness allows the vultures to remain healthy.
