Vultures damaged my truck

WOW , that really sucks !!!

Don't get caught, raptors are federally protected.

I thought they were scavengers, Thought a raptor was a dinosaur or cedar point ride.

Wish I could shoot the bastards.

The buzzards or the insurance guys? (Like there’s a difference)

 

[MikeG]

Buzzards protected by federal law... insurance agents, maybe not so much.

Doesn’t say anything about Rangers...

Maybe you’re carrying too much avifauna in your truck

 

[Rick W]

“ Learning just how unique these birds are can help you better appreciate their place in the world’s avifauna and how important their ongoing conservation is.”

Well, after reading that, I think you should go out and sit in a lawnchair and talk to them, bond with them, find out what their needs are, why they feel your particular ranger is the place to crap. Maybe a helping hand, bring them little rolls of toilet paper, tums. Accept them for their beauty in nature and forgive their minor deficiencies (like an appetite for Ford Trim).

either that, or mix pepper corns and rock salt in a good slingshot....

We had a problem oriel a couple years ago. Would get so worked up fighting his reflection in the mirrors he would crap all over the doors.

I thought I was crafty and folded the mirrors in... nope I had to cover them in plastic bags.

I actually met someone who, astonishingly enough, fed vultures on her back deck (threw out raw chicken for them). She was sort of confused about why the deck boards were badly deteriorated from the vulture poop.....

Kid you not.

Shotgun is way too messy. Consider a pellet gun. Won't kill em but it'll hurt like hell. And it's fun for the whole family.

That thing was possessed, it would land on window screens and just scream at 5 in the morning too. It must have had run ins before, it knew to run when it saw a bb gun.

I saw one here last spring and thought “great, here we go again...”. Followed shortly by “I don’t live in town anymore so no Geneva convention to save his little @$$ from a shotgun!” Thankfully he’s just did normal little bird things like he is supposed to and left me alone which was fine by me.

I saw some vultures at a campground one time, that were attacking their reflections in a plate glass window. Not the smartest critters in the world.
