Turkey vulture. Their nostril are so developed that they make a hole right through the beak.
Incorrect, the Turkey Vulture does not hunt, it scavenges off carion. The Kiwi Bird is the only bird to actually HUNT using their sense of smell.
There are three groups of birds that feed using smell to locate food...
Kiwis, whose eyesight is so poor they use smell to locate worms
Tubeforms (Albatross and Petrels) who use oil slicks from oily fish to find schools of fish
Vultures which don't often attack healthy animals, but to say they only hunt carrion is not quite true.

What bird is allied with an alligator?
There is a bird species with a curious relationship with nesting alligators. When the gator hunts; the bird will guard it's own nest and that of the gator. The bird also serves to provide an early warning system to any potential danger. In exchange, the gator provides "the muscle" and the bird is protected from predators both to it's self and it's nest. I was wondering what this bird species is called. Thanks.
