Lifelong learning
With lifespans of up to 50 years or more, vultures are amazing lifelong learners. I am a Turkey Vulture named Crusty, and I'm all about play. The only reason I've ever learned anything is to play, play, play. I enjoy soaring, not flapping and flailing all around. Those falcons that dive at speeds of over 100 mph are way too serious about life. The most difficult aspect of lifelong learning for me is using technology to my advantage. My friends or family have to teach me the new tools that I need to help me achieve my goal of playing. Sometimes I stumble across a new technology on my own. Once I was eating a carcass left by a hunter who had accidentally dropped his MP3 player inside. That was a windfall! That made my annual Costa Rica to Arizona and back migrations a breeze (literally). I could listen to my favorite books on CD as I flew. The Old Buzzard Had It Coming is one of my favorite mysteries. Now I often wonder how I ever migrated without it.

This is hillarious! My blog is so lame and boring. Yours is truly creative! I can't stop laughing. Great job.
Hey Crusty...I agree with you about the difficulty of understanding and using technology. I sort of wish I was a turkey vulture too. First thing I'd do is eat an MP3 player.
What a hoot! You are a very wise vulture.
