So someone mounted an owl decoy on the roof. As you can see, the vultures are not intimidated at all!
My daughter says the vulture is thinking, “That owl is sitting really still. As soon a rigor mortis passes he’s lunch!”

Linda,
ReplyDeleteGeese I wouldn't mind but vultures I say scare them away if you can. That guy isn't buying the who big scary owl ploy one bit but he's going to be really disappointed when he bites into his lunch. lol Thanks for sharing and joining my WW linky party, dear friend.

...but a gun may work.
ReplyDeleteIt is illegal to shoot them unless you have a special permit.
DeleteVultures are harmless and environmentally crucial. Did you know that in India they have poisoned most of their vultures? The result, unsurprisingly, is a terrible problem of decaying animal corpses in the streets, everywhere. Of course now they are trying to bring them back! So maybe the vultures could provide a teaching moment for the schoolchildren.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to an article, since many Americans didn't know this is happening: https://scroll.in/magazine/868116/with-indias-vulture-population-at-deaths-door-a-human-health-crisis-may-not-be-far-off
ReplyDeleteWow, they were killed by a medicine in cattle carcasses! I did not know about that, but I do appreciate the vultures for their clean-up work.
DeleteThe birds know better. They do provide a valuable purpose in nature.
ReplyDelete... the birds seem to know better!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
