From
Myths of the Cherokee, James Mooney, 1900
The buzzard used to have a fine
topknot, of which he was so proud that he refused to eat carrion, and
while the other birds were pecking at the body of a deer or other animal
which they had found he would strut around and say: "You may have it all,
it is not good enough for me."
They resolved to punish him, and with the help of the buffalo carried
out a plot by which the buzzard lost not his topknot alone, but nearly all
the other feathers on his head.
He lost his pride at the same time, so that he is willing enough now to
eat carrion for a living.
