I took this picture from wikipedia but I was searching raphia palms when I found it.

It looks obvious he is not a carrion eater with the plumage all around the face...

if you want something else for a pet....(no cats..no dogs) take this birdie...

Yeah, RPS could feed it all of the old seeds so none of us get them!

I thought that a palm vulture was someone that snags every palm seed they can get there hands on when on an organized garden tour. Does anyone know one of those?

"Unlike other Accipitrids though, and especially unlike other Vultures, Palm-Nut Vultures are primarily herbivorous, feeding on the fruit of the aforementioned species of Palm trees, and to a lesser extent dates, oranges, other fruit, and both grains and seeds. Whilst juveniles in particular favour an herbivorous diet, for adults vegetation only accounts for 60% of their diet, with the rest being comprised of small vertebrates (including smaller birds), invertebrates, eggs, and of course, carrion."

Holy cow, I just learned about these for the first time! Amazeballs.
