Vulture is the name given to two groups of scavenging birds of prey: the New World vultures, including the Californian and Andean condors; and the Old World vultures, including the birds that are seen scavenging on carcasses of dead animals on African plains. Research has shown that some traditional Old World vultures (including the bearded vulture) are not closely related to the others, which is why the vultures are to be subdivided into three taxa rather than two. New World vultures are found in North and South America; Old World vultures are found in Europe, Africa and Asia, meaning that between the two groups, vultures are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald head, devoid of normal feathers. Although it has been historically believed to help keep the head clean when feeding, research has shown that the bare skin may play an important role in thermoregulation. Vultures have been observed to hunch their bodies and tuck in their heads in the cold, and open their wings and stretch their necks in the heat.

Can I keep my crooked heart away from you?
But no matter how hard you try, you can't start again.
What can I do?
Shake off the burdens.
The weight of a plague wrapped around your head.
How much more the wicked and the sinner?
Lost, but we will find you.
Sinful man close your eyes.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight, lost sight of heart.
How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the light brings from the dark.
You have built a kingdom of vices oh child of a hollow
heart.
We have watched you live in fear.
We have watched you disappear.
Just stay alive.
We won't leave you behind.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight, lost sight of my heart.
How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the light brings from the dark.
Close your eyes.
Lost, but we will find you.
