there scavengers not predators but they do eat meat

I wish I had a pic of my friend's turkey buzzard friend... Along the lines of vulture. She found it young in her yard , unable to fly , but it was big enough that the cats didnt hurt it( at her place that's not unusual, their are chickens eating out of bowls with cats, a house rooster... Lol, and so on) he comes periodically and knocks on tbe door with his beak, he brings buddies with him and they toss out scraps from dinner to them.. Lol. It's a riot .

Actually they aren't preditors. They are scavengers.
I have 3 vultures in the remains of my barn. The pair raise one young one each year. The young one just wants to sit in the sun and bask. The male keeps pouncing on him until he flies. It will probably take weeks before he will hunt with the adults. Once he learns to hunt, he is out on his own to seek a mate.
The turkey vultures around here are less aggressive, but do a good job of keeping the place clean, But I can't picture them finishing off something that fast. They usually start with the eyes and then dig into the entrals. The hide isn't eaten unless there is nothing else to eat in their area. They don't attack live things. Frank...

Yea, It's a raven. Haven't pictured the buzzards yet.

There's a film on Independent Lens of people from Mexico crossing the border. Some die and there's not much left. At the time the film was made AZ has 300 bodies in the fridge and were trying to ID them for relatives.
I knew a guy that broke a leg and died in the Maze at Canyon Lands in Utah. He wasn't fund for 2 years but was mummified. For those that aren't familiar with Canyon lands, It's very remote in the Maze.This can be a tough planet.
There are lots of ways to die.

Funny thing about ugly. I spent some time with birds of prey and after awhile vultures and buzzards don't look ugly anymore. In fact they can be hospitable as long as your alive.

 

[jeff of pa]

could have been worse.
they could have started before she was dead.

The Times reported that Pyrénéan farmers have been demanding the right to shoot the birds, known as Griffon Vultures, because they've been attacking sheep and cows.
But the species is protected in France and has lost access to its normal diet of carcasses due to European health and safety regulations.

stupidity causes problems

Lmao, hospitable . I picture a buzzard with a tea cup... " would you like a spot of tea?"

I'm curious how one is supposed to prepare not to die and get eaten by scavengers.

 

[onfire]

Major Didier Pericou told The Times of Europe, "When we first went out in the helicopter looking for the body, we saw numerous vultures without realizing what they were doing."

Every cowboy movie I ever saw... when they see vultures overhead they knew something was dead. Oh I forgot no cowboys in France.
