The weather looks nice there. No snow, ice, lots of sun and green grass...

Get yourself a slingshot and have at it!

I've been warning you about that vulture for years, John.

Turkey vultures we leave alone. Black vultures will attack young calves, so they pretty much get dispatched on site. If you leave a dead black vulture just laying there, others will not go near it.

I never knew any of that about Vultures. Very interesting!! Thanks!!

Bear

I see them circling all the time around here but never on the ground, let alone in the bird bath LOL! We have a large reservoir nearby so they don't hurt for water.
I'd take one of those over the 10,000 sparrows we seem to have now.....

When I was stationed in Texas (Ft Hood), they had what they called Puke Buzzards. Well I hit one with a Deuce & a Half, and found out how it got it's name----Threw up all over the Hood of my Truck!!!

Seems like I remember reading somewhere along the way, that turkey vultures have an extremely caustic stomach acid and if attacked, they will puke their stomach contents into the attacker's face.

You can try this to run black vultures off

I think I'd borrow a paintball gun and color his ass pretty!

Ryan

Thank You Ryan!!
LOL---At least they would be better looking!!

Bear

Wow interesting!

I only ever see Turkey Vultures in TX.
It's against the law for us to mess with em though.

I'm sure you can think of something to scare it off. My first thought is to put something in the bird bath that a big bird like him wouldn't enjoy stepping on but the little bird woulnd't be bothered by but not sure what that would be or if even possible.

I wonder if something like a remote control speaker device you could trigger would work. You just press a button and have it do a dog bark and you could repeatedly scare the crap out of that bird and he would no longer come around lol.

Good Ideas, Tall !!
Bear Jr has been in the Tower business over 20 years, and when they go to a tower, out in the Boonies, there's often Buzzards sitting up top. They always beat the steel pipes at the tower bottom with a wrench, to scare them away, before they climb. Bad enough there's Buzzard Crap all over everything----You don't need them crapping on you while you're climbing or working!!!

I shot a 10 for first and last time many years ago. there is nothing painless about 3.5" magnum from a single shot full choke 36" barrel. LOL

LOL---That's what he wanted, so I got him a Browning 10 GA Pump.
Then a couple buddies of mine told me that would tear his shoulder up.
I said I was going to shoot it first, but then he didn't want me to.
So we set up a big sheet of cardboard to see what the spread was like, and he fired it twice. Then he looked at me & said, "When is it going to kick?"
I told him he could shoot a goose from one county to the next with that thing!!

I never was too good with a slingshot.
That Picture was in the camera for awhile.

WE I would say he knows you're getting old and probably half blind so he thought he would give you something large enough you could see.
For sure they do make a terrible mess.

I wouldn't doubt that one bit.
They're disgusting creatures!!

Yup, I've been telling them that for years!!!
This one seems to think he knows better.

Well as they say it could always be worse, I mean when it pukes it could have just eaten a skunk.

Tell you what, at my last house in Coopersburg, I shot more than 40 "Grundsows".
Each time, the clean-up crew moved in, and those guys don't leave a lot on the ground when they're done.
The only skunk was shot by Bear Jr, and he was mad at it for destroying a Rabbit Nest, and destroying all the Baby Rabbits in the nest. He shot it with his 10 GA, and there was nothing left for the Buzzards!!!
