Good thread. I think vultures are such interesting birds and I wish the general public would appreciate them just a little bit more.

Black Cultures are adorable little shits. They mate for life, and they live in colonies. If one is cheating and the colony finds out, they'll all gang up on it and beat the fuck out of it. They are ridiculously intelligent.

Old Mediterranean cultures associated them with fate and the gods. Romans noted their silence, association with the dead, and general mysterious nature and imposing presence (makes sense given they would have been most familiar with bearded and Egyptian vultures). Additionally, many parts of the Bible that we translate to "Eagle" were probably originally meant to refer to vultures (the exact meaning of the Greek is uncertain and could refer to either, but the symbolic nature of vultures and how it refers to them as "colorful" matches a lot more with old world vultures than really any species of eagle they would have been familiar with). Very cool birdies.
