Other Species
There are three other species in the genus with the Turkey Vulture: the Falkland Island Turkey Vulture (C. falklandicus), found in the Falkland Islands, Patagonia, and Chile, the Amazonian Turkey Vulture (C. perniger) of Guiana, Amazonia, and Peru, and the small black Brazilian species (C. urubitinga), the latter having uniform black wings and a yellow instead of reddish head. Their habits are presumably similar to those of the common species.
