| Quote: I just called the bird sanctuary and she thinks it was a turkey vulture. She said it won't harm a live animal, it only wants road kill. I'm not 100% sure that is what I saw but I think I will try to rest my mind that is what it was so I don't go crazy with worry about letting the babies outside. The lady at the sanctuary told me the only thing we have to worry about in this area is the owls at night. I am still going to be vigilant about these birds though.

| That would have been a very scary thing to see. I have heard these birds of prey have taken yorkies and smaller animals. I would still be worried even if they only took dead animals. I would be worried one of mine would be lounging around on the deck and the bird would think it was dead and grab it. Too scary to even think about but thanks for the warning. |

| Here is a severe vulture. It has a red beak. Could this be it? http://www.istockphoto.com/file_clos...695715&Lang=en

| I grew up in MO, and I remember seeing vultures several times while we were camping there in the Ozarks, and they ARE scary looking birds! Hopefully he was travelling somewhere else far, FAR away from you and your babies! |

| You have to watch out for a lot of things. I once saw what I think was an eagle here in NY, and a group of friends saw a parrot in the Bronx, granted parrots don't eat animals, but you never know. And careful of coyotes, they're popping up all over. |
