A buzzard DOES NOT wait for something to die b4 swooping in. A buzzard is a "bird of prey" and therefore KILLS what it eats.
A carrion bird such as a rook or vulture, will scavenge among already dead carcussses, but not Buzzards.
Please change the name to ROOK or CARRION CROW or TURKEY VULTURE - REVERSALS :cheesy:.
Buzzard can mean:
* A vulture, particularly the American Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture, or as a general term for vultures.
* In parts of the United States where they are considered pest, particularly in rural areas, a derogatory term for certain birds of prey, such as the Chickenhawk (a common colloquial name referring to both the Red-tailed Hawk and the Cooper's Hawk), or the Duck hawk (known elsewhere as the Peregrine Falcon). In the U.S., the term "buzzard" is never used to refer to birds of prey, like hawks, eagles, falcons, and owls, outside of this context.
* Rarely, a derogatory term for any large bird that happens to be a scavenger, such as a raven or albatross (in other words, any large bird that is neither predatory nor flightless).
The name BUZZARD REVERSAL will stick because we keep the pips we take.
