All birds of prey are to some extent scavengers. Obviously it is easier to eat
an already dead animal than to use up energy catching a live one. It is also
safer, as any bird runs the risk of injury if it has to kill prey. While most
people look on vultures as scavengers, in truth most any raptor will resort to
scavenging if it has the opportunity.
