Wasnt a very good place to hide the body .

 

I was reading and heard something on the roof.
I went out front and they were just sitting there looking at me.
I walked around to see if there's a dead animal and they started circling around me about thirty feet up.
Yeah, it was kind of spooky.
Nothing out front so I went out back and could smell it immediately.
Unfortunately it's under the deck so they can't get to it.

I never knew they locate carrion by smell too.

Hell yes, they are the best scouts if you're looking for something dead. In the past I've tossed dead animals into the overgrown vacant lot next door. Our properties are completely covered by Live Oak Tree canopies and within 24 hours there will be dozens of those buzzards in the surrounding branches and a dozen more circling overhead.

 

They have excellent smell.

Supposedly they can smell the gases being released from carcasses that are rotting, from about 300 to 400 feet in the air. then they just home on in, on the smells and go to town

Mother natures road kill clean up crews. they work for cheap.

 

They’re actually kind of interesting. We have a large mixed flock, 70+ strong, of Black and Turkey Vultures. They’re protected and were really a problem for a while, tearing up people’s roofs, awnings, etc. one guy had his roof replaced 3 times within a short period and his insurance company told him he had to do something because they weren’t going to keep paying for it. He put these metal rod thing with big spikes all over it along his roof ridges. That seemed to take care of it. They don’t roost in the neighborhood any more, not sure where they go.

On mornings after it’s been raining, we pass a field with horses and there’s a vulture sitting on every single fencepost, wings spread out, trying to get them to dry in the morning sun. Quite the sight.

 

Jeez, I've never thought about them causing damage, that's a pisser...

 

We had a pack of them that showed up when it was garbage day, tear shit up and make a mess.

 

I was remodeling a house and the one across the street was vacant,,vultures came in and opened the lids on the garbage cans and went down inside to eat...

 

Whatever you do, don’t piss off a crow

 

Schiff and Nadler were perched on your roof? I would have figured Nadler was too fat to climb up there and Pencil Neck was too scared to try.

 

My thoughts as well........... accept it was Chuck and Nancy.

 

You must have a Ford in the shop.

 

Get your affairs in order. Take a last look at your bucket list for anything that looks doable in a minimal amount of time. Good luck sir.

 

Don't ever laugh
As a Hearse goes by
For you may be the next to die
They wrap you up
In a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet
They put you in a big black box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks

 

There's a hog confinement a few miles north of me. Some days there are hundreds circling their feed elevator. They roost on top and the ones circling look like a black tornado. Closest house used to have them on the top of their unattached garage. Roof always looked like it had shit all over it. They have a steel roof on it now and they don't seem to sit there anymore.

 

There's a nursing home a couple of miles away from me that get about a dozen buzzards circling in the morning. Kind of funny.

 

I'd love to see the look on my taxi guy's face if I dropped off a buzzard. :-D

 

How in the hell did two old crotchety women like Pelosi and Waters manage to climb on your roof? I thought it was a rumor that they flew on brooms...

 

 

vultures, or buzzards?

They do the same thing, basically, but turkey buzzards are much more common, at least around the midwest, anyway.

 

It was nice knowing you OP.

That is fucking funny.

 

 

We went to the beach for the weekend and when we came back,the Turkey vultures had roosted on my car. They tore out all the weatherstrippimg, shit all over it and scratched it up to the point it had to get it painted.

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

 

They land on my barn all the time-you will see several with their wings spread, sup the sun
kills the bacteria under the wings. I had 2 trying to nest in the loft, but ran their asses off and boarded it up.
I wonder if they have super hearing also, I was moving some stuff and several mice ran out from under
it, wasn't but a couple minutes and some were circling above.

 

Shoot'em in the gut with a .22 short. Bird won't return.

 

They seen your thread on heroin and want to see if you were worth eating.

 

Just saw this....didn’t realize they could be so aggressive. Pretty brutal.
