The next time he visited the house, the eggs had hatched. He has not gone back to visit the baby vultures because he doesn't want to disturb their home. He said they looked like other chicks with down on their bodies and little black fluff on their heads. Vultures practice lifelong monogamy and are observed in pairs. He said this was because of the DDT ban.
Vultures are just like other birds - they have to adapt to humans.
They are able to live with human activity very well and apparently so by living in someone's old house. These birds feed primarily on carrion, the decaying carcasses of dead animals, but they'll eat almost anything, including the young and eggs of other animals, and even plastics, synthetics and other man-made stuff when natural food is scarce. The vultures use their vision and sense of smell to find prey. Federal law protects these birds of prey. All Rights Reserved.
