It’s no wonder that vultures have never really taken off as domestic pets. What with their Keith-Richards-as-Skinhead looks, and a tendency to vomit acrid gobs of spit at passers-by, most people opt for cats or hermit crabs. But spend a season watching them get on with family life and it's easy to be won over.
I love your vulture story! Who would have thought I would ever say those words.
