Good thing it's not actually a wild vulture. They have very sharp beaks and can be pretty bitey

What about talons

Not actually as dangerous. They're sharp enough but vultures have relatively weak feet (at least compared to raptors, which is part of the reason they aren't classified with them anymore). No need to grip and kill your prey with talons when it's already dead
