Perhaps the most striking feature of the turkey vulture is its red head. The coloring draws attention to this part of the bird’s body, the location of the crown chakra.

The crown chakra is linked to divine connection and to our oneness with the universe.

So seeing a turkey vulture may be a prompt to reflect on how we connect to the world around us. This echoes the meaning given to the vulture by the ancient Assyrians, who saw it as a symbol of the unity of all things.
