Turkey Buzzards?
You ain't talking turkey buzzard nohow!
Turkey Buzzards, Turkey Buzzards
Turkey buzzards are very fine creatures.They can speak well some English, too.Here's one of their special features:"Ralph's hurling a wretched eschew!"This might make you cough out a carpet.This might make you wax a whole floor.But this bird makes a wonderful bar petand brings in the patrons galore.
I used to lie on the ground at the farm and play dead to see if the turkey buzzards would circle down low for a closer look.

At the hagweon where I work, one of the textbooks we created has a chapter on "Animal Defenses," and one of the creatures described is a bird called a fulmar, which vomits a nasty, blinding goo at attackers. Lovely.
I saw a bird in Barcelona
that vomited nastiness on ya'
its puke made you puke
for 'twas Nature's rebuke
—its goo reeked of Great-aunt Ramona
It tinkles in my ear . . .
