Turkey Vulture

Check out our amazing Turkey Vulture.

This turkey vulture is one of a series of lively and lifelike plastic birds. The base plastic is white, and the colors are applied with paint. The plastic birds are small and light-weight. We measure the size from wing-tip to wing-tip. This plastic animal toy is great for school projects, toys, novelties, animal collections, party favors and more. Our plastic vulture is for decoration or play only. You can make an interesting raptor (bird of prey) shoebox diorama using this and other plastic raptors from our gift shop. Best of all, there is no mess, no feeding, and no tank or cage cleaning :) Come look through our entire collection of raptor toys and gifts.

About Vultures

Vultures are scavengers and feed mostly on the carcasses of dead animals. Vultures are found on every continent except Antarctica and Oceania and are divided into Old World vultures which locate prey by sight, and New World vultures, which locate food through smell and sight. Vultures are to easy to recognize by their bald head which is devoid of feathers. Baldness helps keep the bird cool, since most live in intensely hot climates. Vultures rarely attack living animals, but feast on the dead or dying. Vultures do not bring food in their talons to their young, rather they regurgitate food from their crop. A group of vultures is occasionally called a venue, and when circling in the air, a group of vultures is called a kettle.
