Talk:Vulture

message: About this statement:
:The decline has led to problems for certain human communities, such as Parsis, that rely on vultures to eat the bodies of their dead.
Are there any cultures in India other than the Parsis who rely on vultures to eat their dead?  Offhand I seem to remember reading of Buddhist monks in Tibet who disposed of their deceased brethren in a similar fashion, so perhaps the same is true of Buddhists in India? --Saforrest 05:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I recently heard on Animal Planet that vultures are the only animal species immune to anthrax. Can anyone confirm/disprove? --Gutza T T+ 22:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This article does not give a primary source, and may just be repeating speculation. As an American site, it may well also be using buzzard as a synonym for New World vulture, rather than to refer to Buteos. Does the article mean that the two distinct families, the American Cathartidae, and the Old World vultures share this immunity? jimfbleak 05:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The dooms day for this master bird has not yet arrived as the breeding of the bird in the wild has created new hopes of survival of this species . 
                                        Distt.kangra, himachal-pradesh,india is blessed with the breeding of 
these birds in the wild .various sites have been recorded in the district Where vultures are breeding without any big  mortality. The following Species are under supervision since oct.2006.               
  
It is observed that some times the young ones are remain unattended during the nights as their parents remain out on one reasons or the other.  The nests in this case are made of with the leafs and branches of the Pinus roxburgii tree.. The  birds are breeding in  the branched old trees of conifer and therefore such trees needs special care to protect the existing habitat.  Each breeding area is generally confined to about 5 hacs.

thread_title:  Vulture breeding in wild,Himachal-Pradesh,India by D.S.DHADWAL 

message: This article should limit itself to those things which are true about all vultures and not of any other birds.  The rest should be left to New world vultures and Old World Vultures.  If that leaves precious little that can be said in this article, so be it, that's the nature of vultures.  It could possibly be replaced with a disambiguation page.

message: This article discusses the New/Old World split, for example sight vs. smell.  Is there anything else?  What notable morphological differences set the New World Vultures apart?  What about "short necks"?  That one sort of leapt out at me?  Larger nostrils on the beak?

thread_title:  Measurements? 

message: The Vulture article is pretty detailed and well cited.  However, the article itself is lacking probably one of the main aspects found in pretty much all the other bird/animal articles: a detailed physical description.  The right side of the page, which contains photos, lists less statistical and factual data than some of the other viewed pages.  The behaviors of the vulture are sufficient to satisfy passer-byers, but like most of the other viewed entries, it lacks that information about the specifics of the motives and behaviors of breeding as well as the various strategies applied to increase survival chances.  Stylistically, this article also differs because of the sheer number of links, resembling almost a regurgitation of information of any relevance.  In all, this article is lacking taxonomy, behavior, human relations, and description, following the format provided the WikiProject Birds project.  TKYung (talk) 19:52, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
