A vulture in the suburbs.

I live in the suburbs and vultures dont exactly hang out here, in fact, I have never seen one in my whole life. But their was one basically in my backyard eating some dead animal. When my brother went to go get the video camera it flew away. Is this a bad sign? or is it normal for a vulture to pop up every now n then in the middle of the burbs?

Could you see what it looked like in the dark? Could of been a large bird or another CIA experiment.

It reminds me of the Chupacabras but they don't have wings. I've never encounter a vulture of any kind where I live in the burbs.

Chupacabras

Whenever something captures my attention I also consider the meaning of it. What's your backyard representing? What kind of deceased animal was it. What were you thinking about at the time. What could it represent that it escaped detection before you could record it. What date and time was it. What was the weather conditions. What has been the main theme around you since this hapened. This could be a warning about something for you to prevent something. Now that you brought it to the forum it is revelant to all of us too.

Here ya go:
Psychological Meaning: Vultures are horrible creatures who live off the misfortune of other animals. Some people are like this. Or perhaps someone is taking advantage of you?

Vulture may indicate presence of corruption. It may signifies that some scheming person is bent on injuring you. It may also signify past experiences is providing invaluable insight into a current situation or problem.

Vultures are scavengers and will eat anything. Vulture is often a word that is used in the english language to describe certain types of behavior. Think of ways in which the vulture might be used in conventional language such as "He is a total vulture". [KEY WORDS : Failing, shameless, mistakes.

Nothing is a bad sign if you reflect on the message and use it to help you.

I am 100% confident that it was a vulture. I am going to have to think about what the meaning or message might be, but what it was eating was a dead cat.

Cats are symbolic of active intelligence. What color was the cat? I hope it was not your neibours cat or someones beloved pet.

Hi NWO
nice to meet ya

we have turkey vultures here and they are a fascinating bird...they do travel so they may just be passing thur
or if you are near farm land they don't think anything of flying miles and miles...they have a sense of smell
which most bird do not and they can smell dead critters miles away...

my favorite is a book Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson..
web site is http://www.medicinecards.com/
they don't have anything on a vulture though..sorry


i used to work with a wonderful woman who had this strange believe that the end of the world was here because she was seeing lots of crows...that was way back in the early 90's and she was reading those end of time books..

another thing that may come into consideration is that with the temperatures being so out of "normal" lots of critters, especially birds are moving into places they have not been seen before....i keep a animal sighting notebook and each year there is at least one bird that my bird book says is not supposed to be here...
plus reading about the magnetics changing could have them well out of their usual range..

hope some of the links help..they are really gentle birds

The cat was gray and it had some gray strips too. It was ripped in half, most likely by a coyote.
I have no idea whose cat it was. I have two myself. One all black(shadow) and one all white(snowflake).

It did look like a turkey vulture except this one was all black with a red head, but I am pretty sure thats what it was. Thanks for the links sky otter, I especially like what the starstuffs link had to say.

New World Orphan may I ask where do you live?

I know in south florida they are every where..
I see them all the time but lately alot more..

I have a relative who lives in Mass. she has a fenced in yard with 6 dogs and she seen a coyote trying to get in to prolly attack one..


I dont think seeing this bird is a bad sign

I do know... some people think if you see a blue jay at your window it means something like a dead relative watching checking on you its an old wives tale

if you hit a bird while driving thats just as bad as a broken mirror.. many years bad luck

I guess if you have some friends who are indian they might have an answer...

I live in California. I do have friends who have a lot of indian friends, but I have hung out with them during the Super Bowl and they would be of no help. They are super rich.

Now don't think I'm strange when I give my impression of this strange [b] phenomenon.

But.., how about a hungry bird eating?

Yes., I know....,forget I mentioned it!!

Yeah thats all it probably was. The only thing that had me taken back was that it was a vulture in the suburbs. Not exactly a bird.

In the UK, they call females 'birds'
My first wife by definition is a bird., talked like a parrot, sang like a crow and took me money...,just like a vulture, but she was just a bird when all said and done!!

BTW..,I still love her......................but got a canary instead. Cheeper!

Hey I think I might have seen her in m backyard, jk thats messed up. Keep your head up. I say anne up again and see what hand you get, let the chips fall where they may.

Meaning no ill will, better in the suburbs than roosting high in the pines here at home pooping all over my roof, yard and vehicles. they come in at night during cold, windy weather snaps. I've had to stop myself from popping their tail feathers with a Crossman air rifle, but have scared them away with firecrackers.


Yet in your case this could be an Omen of sorts.
