They sure grew this last week...

[STLbf]

Nora, whatever the chicks are eating, it's sure nutritious!

[Nora in IA]

Dead things? 

[STLbf]

Well, ya, they are the cleaner-uppers of the bird world, so lots of nutritious stuff.

Big bird feathers are emerging along wing edges, seen in the stretched out wing of one of the chicks.  Not only do they stand up straight, they can run a few steps.

Do vulture chicks have a special name, like "eyas" for peregrine falcons?

hi nora! boy they got big this week! 

[Nora in IA]

Hi Cal.  They sure did, boy those wings!

STLbf -- A baby vulture is called a vulture chick.

To whom it may concern,
Last evening I thought I heard someone flinging rocks into the loft. Chicks were huddled against the left wall, and were not involved.
FYI

[johoward]

I meant the right wall under the window.

[johoward]

Sounds like rocks being thrown right now. Who can turn camera and stop it if true?  Babies could be hurt or killed.

joho saw later babies are okay be hot for them rain coming today then 100 for weekend and 4th i just checked on them they are fine

[STLbf]

Rewind sounds like it was raining at the barn.  About 3:00, a parent brought food.  Chicks really growing big.  Seems like they are not self-feeding yet. Parent left quickly.

Happy Fourth of July to all of the MO turkey vultures and the watchers and posters!

[johoward]

One of the babies is sick.  Coughing, sneezing and trying to spit something out.   Can we do anything?  Do they get bird flue, or could there be something stuck in the throat?  Like chickens, and I guess wild birds.
It is getting worse.
