Vulture
Vultures are
scavenging birds, feeding mostly on the carcasses of dead
animals. Vultures are found in every continent except
Antarctica and
Oceania.A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald
head, devoid of
feathers. This is likely because a feathered head would become spattered with
blood and other fluids, and thus be difficult to keep clean. A group of vultures is occasionally called a venue in literature. When circling in the air, a group of vultures is called a kettle. The
German word
Geier does not have a precise meaning in
ornithology, and is sometimes used to refer to a vulture in English, as in some poetry.

The rendering in the Authorized Version of the Hebrew daah, dayyah, and also in (Job 28:7) of ayyah . There seems no doubt that the Authorized Versions translation is incorrect, and that the original words refer to some of the smaller species of raptorial birds, as kites or buzzards. See: Kite But the Hebrew word nesher, invariably rendered "eagle" in the Authorized Version, is probably the vulture. See: Eagle
