Turkey Vulture Feet. Most birds are believed to have a very poor sense of smell, but the turkey vulture is an exception, apparently able to find carrion by odor. Their feet are useless for ripping into prey, but the vultures have powerful beaks that can tear through even the toughest cow hide. It has an elaborate olfactory canal and uses its keen sense of smell in finding food. While most of their body and forewing are dark, the undersides of the flight. Turkey vultures appear black from a distance but up close are dark brown with a featherless red head and pale bill. The whitish color is the coat of the viscous liquid (droppings) the birds defecate on their legs. The turkey vulture’s wings extend about 1.8 metres (6 feet) across, from wing tip to wing tip, and its body length is about 75 cm (30 inches). The turkey vulture’s legs and feet are red but look whitish most of the time.
