every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in interspecific allopreening (preening between different species)
and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place, while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger
and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!
yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!
EDIT: I meant interspecific allopreening! excuse my typo!
EDIT 2: black vultures do not have a superior sense of smell to caracaras, sorry for the misunderstanding!

Wow, someone in a group I belong to found this Black Vulture just chillin' on her fence. She got some great snaps of him- but, I think he's posing. He knows he's amazing.

Black vulture. They like the trees near me so i see them regularly. I occasionally see them perched on peoples’ roofs in groups of 10-30 or so, sunbathing with their wings outstretched or preening or socializing.
