Does anyone other than me know that carrion eaters like buzzards HAVE to eat
offal because they can't digest fresh meat?  That people that raise and
rehabilitate buzzards and vultures have to let the meat rot before the bird
will even touch it?  (Probably the main reason more people don't train
vultures like hawks is they smell terrible)
