Vultures are voracious! They eat a lot of yucky stuff--and that's good because it keeps things tidy. Here are 20 questions and answers about these clean-up birds so you ll know all about them. You'll learn why vultures' heads are bald, why vultures vomit, why vultures don't get sick when they eat rotten meat, why they circle in the sky, what baby vultures look like (cute fuzzballs), and whether turkey vultures gobble (no!). Make a turkey vulture mobile, a vulture collage, and connect the dots to reveal a Eurasian vulture.
