'''Buzzards''' are incredibly weak and extremely annoying [[Creature|animals]] that should be prepared for on [[embark]] to any [[biome]] where they are present. An individual buzzard can steal a stack of [[food]] and they travel in groups of 5-10. They can be particularly devastating for a newly set up fortress which hasn't yet planted a [[farm]]; while the buzzards feast upon prepared warthog kidney, you'll be searching for [[vermin]] to eat.  They also have no qualms about stealing directly from your above-ground farm, biting at your [[farmer]]s, and grabbing strawberries right out from under their noses.

It is possible to capture them in cage [[trap]]s, providing you with a neat bird to release into your zoo. They can be [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s, but generally aren't worth it due to their low pet value. Buzzards will claim and lay [[egg]]s in an available [[nest box]], should you wish to create a swarm of buzzards for your latest project, though they only lay 2 - 3 eggs at a time which is rather poor to [[egg production]] compared to all domesticated poultry. Buzzard eggs, like all eggs, hatch after exactly 3 months.

Buzzards leave very little when butchered. Around half of them will be stripped down to nothing more than a [[skull]] for your [[bone carver]]s.
