VULTURES?

[Carrosaur]

I've heard most scavenger birds like vultures and crows have lots of diseases.

So far I've been lucky, no sickness, but like you I keep the waters cleaned out constantly.

I've heard exactly the opposite.

Turkey and Black vultures digestive tracts actually destroy a ton of viruses - they're ridiculously caustic to keep the animal safe from the bacterial load of rotting meat. They get blamed for a lot of things they have nothing to do with.

Great!

Yep, like I said, no-one worries about them around here... they´re always welcome. It just means that something has died.
I actually love to see them circling way up high. And then when they´re all sitting along the top of fence posts, it´s either raining or something has passed away.
This one´s eyeing up that dead fish on the rocks... Fish on the rocks! Nice!

My dogs do NOT welcome vultures!
