Are turkey vultures endangered?
Probably yes!
But it's not related to the name of the country.
For your consideration;
The name of the country Turkey (as "Türkiye" in Turkish )has been derived from the community named TURKS.
The TURKS had came from middle Asia and established a civilization in Anatolia.
The most believed tale about the origins of the name of the TURKS is the name indicates that the Turks are coming (-turemek, turuk, turk) from the wolves of mid-asia.
Vultures are split into two groups Old World Vultures and New World Vultures,
these two group of birds have evolved with similar characteristics but are from two different points of origin, this is due to divergent evolution.
New World Vultures are found in North and South America and Old World Vultures are found in Africa, Europe and Asia. The only continents of the world that do not have at least one species of vulture are Australia and Antarctica.

Because it is a relatively safe place to get a bit of sleep. it is certainly safer then sleeping or even siting on the ground.
This species of owl nests on the ground, building a scrape on top of a mound or boulder. A site with good visibility, ready access to hunting areas, and a lack of snow is chosen. Gravel bars and abandoned eagle nests may be used.

Yes. There is the Black Vulture, and more common, the Turkey Vulture. The California Condor also lives in Arizona, the Condor is larger than a vulture, but the two birds are very similar in their looks (naked neck, and large usually black wings and of course they are both scavengers).
The Turkey Vulture has large black wings with white tips, and has a small pink/red neck.
The Black Vulture is named well, black head, black wings, and I do not believe it has any white tips on it's wings.
I hope this helped :)
it really depends on the species, but a staple diet for most owls is small rodents.
their are some species of owl whose diet consists of fish, quail, skunks, and even crayfish in the case of the barred owl.

Guinea fowl are almost certainly kosher, and there is documented evidence that they were eaten by Jews in the recent past. But in order for them to continue to be eaten, written evidence is not enough; a living tradition must be found, i.e. a witness who has personal knowledge of guinea fowl being slaughtered kosher must look at a bird and testify that this is the same species he knows to be kosher. Drs Ari Greenspan and Ari Zivitovsky have been searching for such testimony among older slaughterers from different Jewish communities. I don't know how much success they've had.
Definitely yes, especially when they have babies in their nests and are trying to feed them, we lost 2 full size hens this week alone
