'To sum it up, vultures don't eat dead vultures by choice. They love to eat carrions of other dead animals instead. Vultures have a very unique sense of sight and smell to get their food to them. Also, they call on their other mates when they find a feasting source.Oct 3, 2021'
They will, however, eat such carcasses in the absence of more desirable food. Therefore, since vultures are not herbivores, they'll only eat a dead vulture if they're really hungry.
