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.

Can vultures hurt people?

In north America their are to prominent species of vulture the turkey vulture, and the black vultures. Wild Turkey Vultures are shy, and lack any real sort of defense except projectile vomit. Black vultures though are much more aggressive, are often found in groups and will sometimes try to kill small weak and dying animals and have been known to attack new born cattle. All in all vultures aren't a common sight depending on where you live, the most harm they could possibly do is eat the carcass of your pet dog or poop in your front yard. In my opinion vultures are the garbage men of the wilderness, they eat any carcasses preventing sickness in other animals. quickly and poorly written edit?
