bird 1



While I was flying a kite, I saw a huge bird soaring over me. It was a turkey vulture. This bird was ugly with a bright red head. Its wingspan is around 6 feet, which is almost identical to my own. There are white feathers under their black wings. These birds feed on rotting carcasses. Their young are referred to as chicks. Although they are huge, it only weighs 1.9-5 pounds. Raccoons, opossum and foxes eat the turkey vulture.
