Buzzards?

[musashi]

Anyone else notice how the buzzards in game actually look a whole lot like vulchers instead?

Vulcher


Buzzard


Now I'm confused as to which ones they are in game.

Yeah, I noticed that a while back... I always picture them as turkey vultures.

[musashi]

Awwwww but buzzards' are such cooler birds of prey

Same for me.

Vulture and buzzard are synonyms, at least in some parts of the English-speaking world.

yea, I wouldn't have had any idea.

Aren't they vultures? Probably the same as vulchers. Either way, I would love to see more in the desert areas of the game. Also, vultures/vulchers/buzzards foraging for dead bodies would be cool, and an easier way to find loot.

In American (and South American) English, buzzard = vulture. In Old World English, buzzard = hawk. In Candian English, buzzard hawks you!

I've always called those turkey vultures.

That picture is of a turkey vulture, but American vernacular is to call birds in the Accipitridae or (especially) Cathartidae families.

This already happens in some parts of the world, the first time I saw my dead homie get nommed on by birds I smiled.

I'm with Ourla, I always called them vultures and thought buzzards were hawks. Weird though if "buzzard hawks" is a UK thing ... because I grew up in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Michigan primarily and never really picked up on it.
