Re: Daily Mail: A Vulture named Sherlock
A turkey buzzard called Sherlock. Very useful. I can just imagine a whole squadron of them!

Re: Daily Mail: A Vulture named Sherlock
Might be difficult with the teamwork, however. Not Sherlock's division.

Re: Daily Mail: A Vulture named Sherlock
Oh what a beautiful bird!! His handler's good looking too. They said they might have better luck with a trio of scavenger birds. I can just see it!! Sherlock, Dr Watson, and Mrs. Hudson!! Indeed, if it works in Germany, it might work in the USA too.

Re: Daily Mail: A Vulture named Sherlock
God I've wanted to learn raptor handling since I was a kid and read a book called about a boy and his Kestrel (called, imaginatively, Kes, iirc). I don't think we legally can have raptors in Australia though

Re: Daily Mail: A Vulture named Sherlock
A small claim to fame is that when I was at University, many moons ago, we had a lecture from the author of Kes, Barry Hines. It was also made into a film.

Re: Daily Mail: A Vulture named Sherlock
Kes is an extremely popular book in schools here in England.

Re: Daily Mail: A Vulture named Sherlock
That's... a slight bit disturbing, on the surface of it. Vultures are not a rare sight around here, and they're used as a warning of doom in shows - they're said to spot those near death and follow them. Think of it... a harbinger of doom sent out to find your body once you're dead...
That said, I'm an animal lover, and that includes the ugly, the doom-harbingers, the creepy, etc. I appreciate a not-well-reputed animal having a "good" purpose, showing intelligence and skill.
