Florida Vultures are protected. But that did not stop one from trying to fly into the cab of my truck some years back. It was on the Florida Turnpike just south east of Wildwood. I had to pull over to the shoulder after it completely smashed my windshield. The window was still intact to drive home. But really hard to see out of.
The Black Vulture did not survive and became wedged on the passenger sidearm brackets for the mirror. I put on my gloves. Climbed up on the side steps of the passenger door. Grabbed the bird by the wing and went to give it a hard toss into the ditch and it was so light I flung it twice as far as I had thought I could. Such a big bird that only weighed a couple pounds. Not heavy like a turkey.
And STANKY..! They smell dead just like what they eat.
The Wildlife Centers of Virginia have a Great Video about Vultures. Definitely Worth a L👀k.
Fun Fact

i think I just threw up in my mouth a little thinking about it... 🤢🤮
Me trying to drive home with that busted windshield...
