The turkey vultures diet consists almost entirely of carrion which is decaying animal matter like roadkill and human garbage. They rarely eat live prey such as sick or dying birds and rodents and plants how are they classified

Answer 1

Turkey vultures are classified as scavengers because they primarily feed on carrion (decaying animal matter). Although they may occasionally consume live prey such as sick or dying birds and rodents, this makes up a very small percentage of their diet. Plants are not a significant part of their diet, so they are not classified as herbivores.
