senoritafishHmm. I had no idea turkey vultures were such a big problem, until someone sent a question in to my agency's Q&A, regarding them roosting on his tile roof and damaging it.

And apparently the best way to deal with them is by hanging up, upside down, what looks like (and sometimes is, although fake ones can be used as well) a dead one. Somewhat similar to all the plastic owls hanging out on roofs and signs to keep away pigeons, I suppose.
I quite often pass large groups of them roosting in trees around the perimeter of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station near my workplace. Occasionally I've come down the 405 Freeway to see them all spreading out their wings to the morning sun after a cool night.
