Why do turkey vultures poop all over their own legs?

Turkey vultures defecate on their legs in order to cool themselves. The water in the waste evaporates, lowering the temperature in the legs, and the cooled blood travels back through the rest of the body. Storks also do this, a practice known as urohidrosis. Because birds can't sweat, this is their only substitute.
