| worse than it putting 'all of heaven in a rage' its one of the signs of the world ending, ..., when there unaminity at LL so, to get us back on track etc, ..., its NOT the worst present ever, ..., your child could've recieved a vulture for a start. Your failure to realise this & to make such an overblown claim is just typical of one with political views such as yours. glad thats all safe/cleared up now Meanwhile, .., BTW when cleaning cages birds often escape out of the window, ..., assuming you live somewhere reasonably temperate it might even chose to live nearby, ..., RESULT!

| There are alot of types of vultures. The california Condor is one type and it's the protected one. We have Turkey Vultures here in NJ. They look similar. Not the same species though. Turkey Vulture  note the difference in head color and the absence of a furry ruffle around the base of the neck. Turkey Vulture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cathartes aura = Turkey Vulture Gymnogyps californianus = California Condor. | ||||
