Scott বলেছেন...: That would make sense, so it's probably the wrong answer.

They would probably have to be African or Chinese vulture brains, since vultures are probably protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.

Which also prohibits the commercial exploitation of photographs of crows.; ৭/৬/১০, ৩:২৫ PM

"But they are far sighted. They can be high above and spot a dead animal before anything else does."

Actually, they will cruise looking for dead bodies, but home in by smell as or more often. Kinda hard to know the percentages since we can't ask.; ৭/৬/১০, ৮:২৯ PM
