- A growing number of black vultures circling a Staten Island neighborhood have residents concerned. They tell CBS2's Astrid Martinez the aggressive birds are more than just a nuisance.
Keep spraying the transformer with the hose.. genius
Electricity is gonna come back thru the stream of water and roast him
Um, it rains on Staten Island. In other news, water is wet.
@@BuzzyStreet That's not what he meant but thanks for staying in school.
Ha ha
We're living in a world where vultures experience racism too SMH
We're living in a country where a dumbass is watering a powerline
🤡
Who's the first to experience racism? It's definitely not blacks, they are a protected species.
Vultures are not a race, Professor Big Brain.
Black Birds like Ravens and Crows get a bad rap
Leave them alone, they are an essential part of the ecosystem, unlike all the criminals running wild in the area and beyond.
Vultures don't carrier guns , do they?
Correct, the vultures are only trying to clean up the filth and stench emanating from the area.
The Vultures are patient birds. They are waiting for someone to die.
Exactly.
Or alot of people...
Nothing wrong with vultures. They get hated on for no reason other than people's ignorance
I agree..The Media should Educate the public not scare the public.
Man is watering power lines! Those vultures know what they’re doing 😂
I was just going to say the same thing
😂😂🤣🤣😃😃 hahaha this fool is watering the powerline hahahahaha
I'm glad these creatures are federally protected. Even the animal expert says they're harmless.
Me too !!!great
Yeah until they start damaging your house.
It's BS. They will attack neonate livestock.
If I’m not mistaken don’t they only eat dead prey ? There aren’t really hunters ?
@@apap1586 I guess is they make a nest and bird droppings. I mean who would like to see them ugly asss birds on your house .
It’s got a right to be there too.It’s their world too, and they don’t destroy it like humans.
and they actually help by eating the dead! i was next to vultures that were by a garbage can and they didn’t even acknowledge me. they’re cool and should be allowed to roam the planet like these pos humans !
FACTS
Vultures are important in keeping rotting flesh from spreading disease to living people. They are only awaiting the bodies that will be in the streets when shtf. They're just doing their job.
Exactly. These animals are getting comfortable and settling in before the big feast starts.
Exactly
1:42 So people are harassing a Federally protected animal?
Ty news channel for showing the criminal
It's ok, he's spraying water on powerlines and transformers, Ol Buzzy will have a free meal he keeps that up.. 😂
So what happens when it rains?
It's not a good sign when black vultures start moving in on you.
They know something is coming. They sit and wait for a feast unlike any other. The harvest will be bountiful.
mmm..
Real genius spaying water up into high voltage electric lines. Surprised he didn’t explode. Would then make a perfect meal for the vultures.
The power lines are insulated, so you're not going to create a path to ground.
I'm pretty sure they get wet when it rains.
That crossed my mind😆 .
You forget that it rains?
@@MV-nt4bq when it rains, your not holding on to a conductive path to 13 thousand volts !
I bet those vultures have contributed more to New York than most New Yorkers
😆🤣🤣
@@NG-iu9xn New Yorkers get so mad seeing someone actually do something for their city that they want to kill ‘em. That’s that New York love right there. Imagine hunting a vulture cause your afraid it will pick at your dead body…
These people need to get a life and leave the birds alone.
Those people are so stupid - that they are dangerous.
Well maybe you're not a homeowner ;you got to protect your property. If vultures are tearing their roofs they have a right to do whatever they have to do.
Birds are not ripping off peoples roofs. That’s silly. Maybe peoples roofs are just falling apart on their own. Quit blaming these lazy birds who are just looking for an easy meal.
@@drinny26 Ha ha, yeah - and I don't think that the birds are knocking over the chimneys either.
@@paulsawczyc5019 maybe they’re construction vultures smh lol
The birds suspect something in one of those homes
🤣😆😆💯🤣
*If the Birds were White it wouldn’t be a Problem…*
Basically
Because white birds like doves actually contribute to society.
Because the white birds do not destroy every neighborhood that fly through
I started seeing vultures on Staten Island almost 2 years ago. They gather on chimneys to stay warm in the winter. Last winter there were a lot more, like 3 to 4 times more than the previous year. I'm way more scared of the turkeys attacking me than the vultures. The vultures eat roadkill.
Did you get jumped and robbed by them too??? This is an abomination !!!!!!
They eat the animal they don't eat life animals you don't got to worry about
Why turkeys, do they attack people?
@@araserra6622 no turkey don't attack people
vulture don't do nothing he eats dead animal only
This ain't the first nor will it be the last time that Staten Island residents complain about something black moving into their neighborhood
🤣 😂 comic
Lol 😆
Quality of life > everyone's feelings
The birds obviously know something y’all don’t. I’d be gone or at the doctors getting checked out
Expecting many corpses to feed on soon.
The vultures are just getting comfortable and settling in before the big feast.

They don't harm live animals. Ppl are so uneducated when it comes to working. They may be pest but they're not going to harm your pet. They actually help the environment with the scavenging that they do.
This is what happens when a community of people don’t know the basics of animal husbandry.. Vultures do not kill pets, or people or anything else. They eat carcasses of dead things…To see the wonders of nature might be the only reason to go to this prison island.
Prison island lol who keeping you here ?
Bullshit. Black vultures regularly kill animals. Happens frequently down here in Texas.
Black vultures are more aggressive than turkey vultures.
The point is that black vulture are extending their range north. Turkey vultures just eat dead things, black vultures can kill small and weak animals
He's hidden a body they smell rotting corpses I'm a expert
I deal with bald eagles and hawks in my backyard in WI. Vultures kill nothing. These people are overreacting, I don’t even believe the eye witness about seeing them tearing off roof tiles. So sad when people act like they are some big problem when they just don’t like them.
Hopefully they will croak soon since most the whiners are old farts anyway. Then the vultures can live in peace
These people are definitely overreacting; however, the black vultures that gather around the parking lot at the Anhinga Trail/Gumbo Limbo Trail in Everglades National Park in Florida are famous for tearing the rubber parts of windshield wipers and roofs of cars. The rangers even provide tarps to put over your car now.
I thought most vultures lived in Manhattan
penthouses .
Seriously , vultures are attracted to carcasses . the police better check for serial killers in the area .
They are so adorable leave them alone.
you need to go look up tibetan funerals, they wont be so cute to you no more
Why would they be concerned about a nature animal????? Like wtf is so much going on in this world smh
That’s what they do
Most of the time they usually eat that creatures like cats rats raccoons birds they don't really bother nobody they just eat that creatures
I meant they only eat dead creatures
We've had these birds in the New York city area for years and in jersey too we have turkey vultures as well they can smell dead stuff from miles away... So the real question is who has the dead animals in their yard
Maybe too many bodies missing. I guess the Mafia is still at work.
They are scavengers. They help clean up. Also birds are smart and they probably tore up his roof because he fucked with them.
That’s very true! 🙏
lol They must know something that we don’t know and are just waiting for the abundance of Meals below🤣🤣
Get a grip...they do not attack live animals, sure they look scary and apparently they have a fascination with these people's roofs but generally they are harmless
The only downside is if they damage the asphalt shingles for some reason.
With how nasty NYCs streets have been lately I can’t say I blame a creature that feeds on dead things migrating here, all the dead cats and raccoons getting hit in the street almost on a daily is a all you can eat buffet for them.
Saw a dead cat on the highway the other day, ON THE HIGHWAY! And now there is a dead cat on my corner in the east of Queens, it experienced rigor mortus, what the hell?!
They could be smelling something humans are
Not, only time will tell
Vax in the system. I heard strange things. Idk
It Sucks about the Damage! But Damn they look Cool!! I always liked Vultures! I Hope they are Safe!!!!
I think they only hoover over the already dead and then eat the remains...
They smelling something others are not.
As long as it takes to bloat, broken down like pre digestion?
This guy is a serious Karen. He should be more focused on his name change than on these innocent black vultures.🖤 😤
They had been here for millions of years, before the whiners: They should be questioning the nuisance and destruction of their habitat.
-woke asf
Vultures are considered sacred in some religions 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Which one

When he said a vulture was damaging his roof you just know he's full of it lol
These people are mostly very full of it; however, the black vultures that gather around the parking lot at the Anhinga Trail/Gumbo Limbo Trail in Everglades National Park in Florida are famous for tearing the rubber parts of windshield wipers and roofs of cars.

@@MiamiBeachNativeInNYC Holy chit
😆💯
🤡 out with a water hose what's that gonna do, shooo them away for a second
@@stevenhill3136 😂
If I were the neighbors, I'd be more scared of this guy than the Vultures. Smh
😆😆🤣🤣💯
And that lady 🤣
If they eat rats, then leave them alone
I've been seeing them since the late 80s on Staten island. Completely Harmless.
The vultures are moving in because they know the end is near😳⚡️🔥🎯
Yup. Lots fresh meat for them.
I helped a friend dispatch a whole bunch of them at his farm, after he obtained a permit from his state wildlife. They were killing his livestock by pecking them to death in a very gruesome way. Black vultures are scavengers, but they will also killl to eat, unlike the turkey vultures who are strictly scavengers.
I don’t think vultures eat roof tiles.
I don’t know about roof tiles, but the black vultures that gather around the parking lot at the Anhinga Trail/Gumbo Limbo Trail in Everglades National Park in Florida are famous for eating the rubber parts of windshield wipers and roofs of cars.

Black Vultures can be very scary. Unfortunately Staten Island is not the only borough affected as NYC seems to be infested with Black Vultures in recent times. As a matter of fact many other major cities are having similar issues with Black Vultures
what is scary about them ?
😂😂😂
Nothing scary about a vulture.
WTF you say? A fecking rabid fox is more terrifying than a budgie that feeds off of dead things… So Staten Island is full of dead things that are alive?
They look scary to ignorant people. They're beautiful birds. just adding to that list of reasons I can't stand people, vultures are actually docile , and bond for life as a family.. and the only way they can fend for..themselves is by puking on an agesssor. What has infested the planet are humans taking over , leaving piles of garbage , allow their pets to get lost and hit by cars, hitting other animals. Black vultures only eat carcass of dead animals and out of dumpsters and any garbage slobs leave lying around.
@@r3dhawk3 people's ignorance
Leave those vultures alone. They need to appreciate nature more. I’m glad they’re federally protected.
Can't have black birds we only want white birds in our neighborhood..
These people ain't got nothing better to do ..with their time .hey let's waste water to try get rid of some birds smh ...probably complain that the grass is to green
Maybe someone or something is bothering their natural habitat.
It's about time that they label these people as vultures. They should make them wear caution signs to warn us that they are approaching.
This dude was actually spraying LIVE ELECTRIC WIRES?!!!!!! WTF?!!!
Natural selection, they chose the weakest first. Dude was watering power lines, ready to give them a nice meal.
Leave them alone. Poor things. Isn't man poisoning all the waters and encroaching enough on what little space the wildlife have left?
Did he just spray water up towards the power lines? Smh
leave the birds alone ! these are harmless birds , people are silly . these people would freak out living in San Diego where hawks eat cats and small dogs all the time , and falcons eat birds all day long . and mountain lions eat people . these people crack me up afraid of birds . they are federally protected , leave them alone ! in the desert they circle where something has died , they have incredible sense of smell . they eat already dead animals . they don't attack living animals or people .
There's a lot of vultures circling my neighborhood too. They're pretty loud and I always cross the street. I don't want to get attacked by vultures...
I'm more worried about the other Black vultures
Just think of Vultures being protected with a crime bill,if you mess with a vulture, you can serve many years in prison.
If I see them I will pet it softly besides is only a bird smh
what beautiful and majestic animals
Just yesterday I saw a mated pair while visiting a local tea shop. I thought they were beautiful. Also saw them get cuddly. Apparently they are nesting on a local businesses roof and the shop owners see them all the time.
Omg they are getting so comfortable on my roof. I’m so scared.Lol . Keep in mind that if your house wasn’t there a tree would be there. But since we rip down all the trees to build our homes we are messing up all the wild life’s habitats. I’m pretty sure the bird would rather land in a tree and not a hot roof. It’s not all about us
When Vultures gather they smell death.
White people will fall!!!
Calm down lady don't worry about your pets. They only eat dead animals
Headline writer misses irony.
Idiots worried about live pets are funny.
It’s not just in Staten Island the black vultures have been reeking havoc on all 5 boroughs vigorously
Just remember we live in their world.....
We need to leave them alone and live as one, it's hard times for everything and animals ❤️👍🙏👍❤️
Thank you for those beautiful words why some humans always wanted to destroy everything they've seen some human see something that they start panicking God damn leave the animal alone long as you don't bother you leave it alone when you was born they was already here
Wrong dvmass. This is the humans world
That's smart spraying water on a electric poll
This genius spraying water at an electric pole
They can smell something. Instead of trying to get rid of them, find out what’s under your roof tiles! Or wait for them to show you…
Oh man, that's spooky. I wonder of they sense something? So many wouldn't just settle there unless there was a good source of food in the area (or coming 😱).
Interesting. No problem describing color of vulture but when describing suspect you describe as this person/man.
They sense death.
They are waiting for the next meal.
Down here along the southern border when we see vulture’s circling we call 911 because we know another illegal didn’t make it across the desert. It’s about 2000 in this sector so far this year. This craziness needs to be stopped.
😮
Sorry Biden won’t close border. Very sorry.
we had a hawk spend the summer in our neighborhood which is now birdless. the thing came up from argentina to silence the song
How did this make the news. This is a huge nothing burger.
People living in safe communities need problems too apparently 😭😭😭
what are they doing to attract the birds that eat carrion?
I want one as a pet
This is an omen.
I have seen these birds share a meal with cats… For years in no way would they ever… I mean I’m surprised you didn’t emphasize that it’s ridiculous to think they would go after live pray they’re very cool birds except they shit all over everything and it’s heartbreaking to think they’re so hungry they’re eating roof tiles…. It’s almost as if we’ve killed off so much of the wildlife there’s that much less roadkill… But vultures play a very important role in the cycle of life…
They'll be everywhere soon. Alot of livestock and just animals in general are dying at a mass scale so these guys will do the job
Omen. They have instincts. Lots of food coming soon.
Inflation is serious I brought pasta and meat a hundred dollars they know y’all about to starve they smell the fear
"The city folk give bird baths on demand guys!"
Doesn't Staten Island have a gigantic landfill?? ... I'm surprised there aren't a billion of them flying around.
Yup there's definitely dead bodies somewhere around that neighborhood 🧐
I thought that one of those Vultures was wearing a bibb! I thought he also requested a light cocktail and an appetizer!😳
That's no way to talk about NYC's residents.
Saw this in the north shore as well!
Why this people are so scared this birds they clean your yards of dead animals is more of a blessing than harm
There was a street gang on Staten Island in the early 70s called The Black Vultures.
omg they ate thier way though the side of my house and stole my chinese food off the counter top. my life will never be the same
Really good idea spraying water on power lines.....
I thought it was going to be another inner city youth story.
Remember water is a conductor of electricity,becareful how you spray water up there at those armless creatures .
The vultures were here before the human vultures. Why are you worried? Without your GPS and waze you can't go anywhere, but the geese come back to their birth place every year after finishing their migration. You own the land that belongs to them. Learn to respect 🙏 the other one who were here before you.
Serial Killer living among them. They usually take trophies ( bodies or body parts) and the vultures want some. They need to check that guys attic? Seriously....
Right lol. I wonder what's in his house if they targeting his roof.
@@hibiscushoney3759 Yes!! I'd be very interested in what would cause vultures to go crazy trying to get to what was inside 🤔 I live in California and Serial Killers are the norm here. That's how the Police usually locate bodies..
@@alima3304 either that or bad omen to his house.
Do you think it’s smart watering the powerlines 😬
They are everywhere in NJ 😂😂😂 this is news
I had to change my comment because I looked up vultures and they do indeed damage roof tiles.

@@MiamiBeachNativeInNYC wow, I didn't know that! That's very interesting and I'll go look up why they do that. Thanks for that information 👍
@@MiamiBeachNativeInNYC I stand corrected! I deleted part of my comment because I read about vultures after reading what you wrote and they can be very destructive and have been known to damage roof tiles.
