I can’t remember if it was a Warner Bros. or a Hanna Barbara character, but it was this extremely dopey and slow-witted vulture or buzzard. Any ideas? ---

That sounds like [Beaky Buzzard](http://www.toonopedia.com/beaky.htm). ---

Good gravy! **JThunder** , how the hell did you identify that so quickly? I can’t recall a name ever be applied to said buzzard during the show. ---

Beaky shows up in several cartoons. When you know where to look, it’s not hard. Plus it helps that the character is minor but not obscure. I thought he might have meant [the one with the hat](http://www.usol.com/~hayes/279/buzz.gif), or [the one who tries to eat the other buzzard.](http://www.harrymccracken.com/albums/Pariscartoon/buzzard.jpg) ---

Right, Don Markstein’s brilliant Toonopedia is the best site on the net for cartoon lore. ---

“…Awwwww nope, nope, nope…” Evidently, somebody else had to do that. ---
