What Does #InternationalTurkeyVultureDay Mean?

The #InternationalTurkeyVultureDay and #TurkeyVultureDay hashtags celebrate one of nature's most important and underappreciated birds. Turkey vultures are nature's cleanup crew — they feed on carrion, which helps prevent the spread of disease and keeps ecosystems healthy. Despite their somewhat intimidating appearance, they are gentle birds that pose no threat to living animals or humans. With their impressive wingspan and ability to soar for hours without flapping, they are also remarkable fliers. This day encourages people to learn about and appreciate these essential scavengers.
