So the last several weeks being spent @ home I've noticed a large buzzard camps out on my roof line then onto my front yard fence. He feeds off the food I toss out to the birds,squirrels,rabbits & feral cats. He's so comfortable he doesn't even fly away when I come out the door & looks me dead in my eyes like "what up kid" lol. I named him Rakim because he's old school & clearly no joke.
Well heavy drinking & boredom have me plotting on summoning him w/ a sleeve fashioned from sirloin steak & a welder's glove. I do consider myself as a renaissance man, so the coveted summoning a falcon may not be in my cards but a buzzard is also a large bird of prey so it will fit well in any list of couthly achievements. I've spoken w/ my son & we're working on a "summoning wild birds of prey" play list but I'm in favor of just having Ozzy - I Don't Wanna Stop on loop lol. My son will be filming, I plan on donning a wife beater,boxers & slides if possible I will have a silver goblet in the free hand(on nearby standby by the fence post). My new neighbors haven't truly been exposed to me yet, I feel this will formally introduce them to the way of the cul-de-sac.
Ozzy - I Don't Wanna Stop
Today I began the courtship , I waited for him to move to the fence I came outside & sat on the porch for a few minutes, then I slowly got up & walked over to the fence, got within 3 feet before he moved a little further down, no flight though.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Not sure
Day 2 of Courtship : I Bestow Gifts
Some enterprising youth came by offering pressure-wash services, house needed it as some of the vinyl siding areas are tinted green from pollen & grime accumulation. Plus helping out the youth win/win. They disturbed Rakim who leisurely strolled to the back roof line. I put some raw beef stew cubes on my rear deck & he without hesitation hopped down, walked over & devoured them. I don't want him getting accustomed to the backyard though as my dog has the run of that.

He was up on the roof edge, so about five feet away diagonally, soon as I went back in after placing the beef he dropped down & came up. It's a marathon courting these majestic creatures, not a sprint lol. -

2020-05-03 at 12:37 AM UTCSo Rakim's been MIA since the power washing. I'm thinking the chemicals used have changed the scent which spooks him. Maybe the incoming rain system will neutralize it.

2020-05-03 at 1:20 AM UTCG you don’t have to tell me, but this thread makes me feel like you’re in Ohio; are you? Hinkley Ohio is where all the buzzards fly in every year.

I littered my yard w/ the shitty new formula TRIX w/ marshmallows cereal as it's unfit for humans. Lo & behold Rakim made an appearance.
Fitting soundtrack
