The eggs are incubated for about 38-41 days by both sexes and also feed regurgitated food by both parents as well. The turkey vulture usually sticks with its young until they are able to fly and fend for themselves. This is usually at 8-10 weeks. Turkey Vultures are very useful to humans. They clean the countryside of disease-infested carrion.
Turkey vultures are usually secretive birds that don t like interacting with humans.
They, like most other animals, with get violent if they are threatened or their eggs are. While surfing the web for pictures, I came across lots of different clubs and festivals centered around turkey vultures. For example, Kern Valley Turkey Vulture Festival, Weldon, Kern County, California, September 29 - October 2, 2000. So as you can see, Turkey Vultures have had a impact on humans and human life.
