“Crows and ravens are not so common in Africa where the native vultures are also aggressive and less likely to delay feasting until after last rites.”
I only have seen our native ones. What disgusting looking creatures ...the buzzards. I don’t think I have seen vultures. ....now that I go through google images I think I have plus it seems (not you) some are sloppy in using vulture and buzzard interchangeably
The ones in Africa are almost raptors.
