Vultures are large birds known as scavengers, feeding on the remains of dead animals, or carrion. They play a crucial ecological role by cleaning up the environment. These birds use their broad wings to soar high in the sky, seeking their next meal. Interestingly, they are relatively silent in their vocalizations and communicate with growls, hisses, and snarls. Fun fact: Vultures are vital scavengers that help maintain ecosystem balance.
