A NEST is a solitary location where vultures lay their eggs and raise their young. Turkey Vultures nest on the ground and in caves. They do not construct a traditional "nest," but lay their eggs on bare ground. Vulture nests are often found in abandoned barns and sheds, which provide safe hiding places similar to a cave of hollowed log. Vulture chicks are covered in white (turkey vulture) or beige (black vulture) down. |
ROOST or NEST? A ROOST is a location where vultures gather together in the evening to sleep. It is usually a tree or stand of trees, or a structure such as a barn or cell tower. Vultures disperse from the roost during the day to search for food. |
