One more thing about turkey vultures... you're gonna love this... Guys?
Aww.
I think they left!
Yeah.
No one ever wants to hang out with a turkey vulture.
Am I right?
I guess we're still misunderstood, Tobias.
Whoa you guys, I think those vultures are awesome.
They look so cool, and I love that totally funky hopping on the ground thing they do.
- [Hal] Oh and how they soar through the sky so high too too also!
- [Daisy] Wait!
You guys, what those turkey vultures are doing is actually really important.
Uh, Daisy.
It's pronounced disgusting.
No!
Important!
Daisy, I support the vultures but how is eating rotten meat important?
Well, without turkey vultures and other scavengers, there would be carrion everywhere.
Just rotting in the sun.
Whoa!
Really?
Really!
Oh man!
That would not smell good.
Nope!
As a matter of fact, it would stink!
Yeah.
I guess I wouldn't like to smell something like that.
So without the turkey vulture, nature would stink?
- Oh yeah!
- Wow!
We need those turkey vultures to keep nature clean!
Come on!
We need to thank them!
I guess, we should go now, Tobias!
Yeah.
I guess you're right.
Come on, Tammy!
- [All] No way!
Don't go!
Don't go!
But don't we scare you?
And just gross you out the door?
No you do not!
Tell the truth.
Okay, yes, a little bit.
But mostly we think you're awesome!
Awww, really?!
Yes!
And look!
It's natural for animals to come to the end of their lives, just like the plants in my garden.
We need you!
You are nature's clean-up crew!
I think this is the perfect moment for a song.
Wait!
A song?!
About us?
This is just incredible!
Thank you in advance.
