Of course they have Babies, Sequoia. What did you think? That Aliens deliver them? Silly Dog.

Vulture Have Babies First the male Vultures have to get a female Vulture to marry them. So they spread their wings and strut around. They fly in the air and do some fancy flying. When a female decides that he is the guy she wants they get married. Once in awhile they get divorced, but mostly they stay married for life. They pick a home for their family in a rock crevice or cave. Sometimes they even use human buildings no one is using. Sometimes they just put the eggs under a tree. The eggs are shaped like egss so they won't roll away. The eggs have brown specks. There are usually on or two. If there are two, usually one will be a boy and one will be a girl. The parents take turns sitting on them for twenty four hours each. They have to watch them because since they are on the ground, possums and raccons and other guys steal them. The parents have to sit on them for thirty to fourty days. When they hatch they have no feathers on their black heads and white fluffy bodies. At first they only weigh 2 ounces. That's only an eighth of a pound! The parents have to stay with the babies all the time to keep them warm for five days. Then the parents can both go out ans get food. After about two weeks the kids get left by themselves a whole lot more. They stay on branches of nearby trees and practice flapping their wings and playing with each other. Their parents will feed them for about six months and then it's "Adios!" If you want to see a Vulture, look in open country during the day. or in secluded woods near dusk. They like to sleep with all their friends in trees in quiet places away from humans, so you can find them in places like that near the end of the day. They live in many different parts of the Continent. From southern Cananda all the way down to South America. Because they eat dead guys, carrion, they can find food anywhere anyone else lives. Depending on where you live, you may want to hurry if you want to see them. Near Lake Ontario people saw sixty Vultures in 1963. In 1986 people saw two thousand one hundred and thirty nine! Their population is doing well there. In other areas, it is not the same. The people who watch for Birds, the Audubon Society, are worried about them because in other places they are are on the decline. Well, that's what the human taught me about my new friends, the Vultures. You Are Visiting Kind Kids, a Fun Part of Kind Planet.
