Normally, animal fam, we're not a fan of squatters. In this economy, we can barely afford to pay our own rent, let alone pay for someone else to stay with us for free. However, when they turn out to be cute baby animals, we can see ourselves making an exception for them. Especially if they're good for the environment. Technically, we could be describing spiders, but we're not. We have a "no see, no squish" deal with the spiders in our house. They can do their thing and we can live peacefully they don't make problems for us.

Thankfully, though, we're not talking about spiders. When the grandson in this post found two mysterious, unidentifiable creatures crashing his family's farm, he turned to the one place that had all the right (and hilariously wrong) answers. He discovered that the two fuzzy babies were actually a rare sight, and he would be happy to have them helping out on the farm. Scroll down to see what the internet had to say about these bird-brained babies!

    MeggersRN Baby vultures! We have a mating pair that comes to our property every year to have their babies. We're on year 5 with our Morticia and Gomez.

    It's fun naming the little ones every year. It seems like they always lay two eggs. I read somewhere that they mate for life! I'm a bit obsessed, in case you can't tell o

    Vultures only eat things that are already de d, and they're VERY important for the environment. Leave them be, and when they're grown up, they'll leave.

    mk2154 You're so lucky OP - unsure if future generations will be able to just spot them so easily even though their populations have been increasing. but do leave them be. Beautiful black vulture chicks

    UncaToad Looks like Turkey Vultures/ Black Headed Vultures. Or, if you've seen a 12-foot wingspan bird around, a Condor.

    Fear-the-emu Yea, most likely black vulture chicks, they'll eventually move out and you can get your space back; might try again next br ling season though. Parents should be attending to them.

  • Okay, according to our very astute powers of observation, we think that they are baby vultures! No one saw that coming, right? We're not sure we've ever actually seen a baby vulture before now. They are kind of cute… in an ugly way.

    GYM_KATA Those are baby brown-tailed tunnel dragons. Their plumage hardens and forms into a chrysalis and they emerge 12 years later as Komodo dragons.

    Few-Statistician-154 Vulture chicks... Nature's part of the clean up crew. A good sign and good to have around in my book.

    RidgeBrewer In case no one has said it - the Turkey Vulture is the most successful bird in the Americas. It's been thriving from Nome, Alaska straight up to Tierra Del Fuego for hundreds of thousands of years. Low key, but total GOAT when it comes to doing what it does and doing it well.

    KingSalami1313 Baby pterodactyls. Use caution.

  • For all we know, they could be baby pterodactyls. First people are successfully bringing Dire Wolves back from extinction, who's to say they didn't already bring back pterodactyls? Jurassic Park, here we come!
