If you think our Birdorable birds are cute as adults, what about when they are babies? Here are some baby photos (shared via Flickr & Wikipedia) of the Turkey Vulture. Yes, Turkey Vultures are amazing creatures and even cute, especially as white down-covered babies. Both Turkey Vulture parents incubate the eggs. Both also care for the chicks, which are altricial at the time of hatching, which means they are helpless and cannot care for themselves.
