Vulture sound effects from the African bush, and they're not the screeching birds films make them out to be. Real vultures mostly hiss and squabble over food. Ugly, but real. These were recorded in Zimbabwe in the dry season, white-backed vultures with hyenas calling nearby, and there are performed bird calls for something more cartoonish.
Vultures barely have a voice, which is why their real sounds are so unsettling, a hiss and a scuffle around a carcass under a hot sky. The jungle recordings from Bolivia add tropical birdlife if the scene is set somewhere wetter. Desert westerns and nature documentaries both have a use for them.
