One of the most interesting, and misuderstood, birds in nature is the vulture.Because of their association with death and decay they are often thought to be unclean and unhealthy, when the opposite is actually true.Because they clean away the bodies of dead animals they prevent disease from spreading.After many years of being misunderstood, many species of the vultureare close to extinction.Today, people in many places around the world are working hard to help these fascinating creatures to thrive once more.Product Identifiers
