A turkey buzzard landing on your roof often symbolizes a message of transformation and renewal, as these birds are associated with scavenging and cleansing. They can also represent a need to confront difficult truths or the idea of embracing change. In some cultures, their presence is seen as a reminder to let go of negativity and allow for new beginnings. Overall, it can serve as a sign to reflect on one's life and the cycles of nature.
During late December 2009, I had a flock of Turkey Vultures begin appearing on my roof from around 9am - 12 pm. At first I thought it was sort of cool until I saw they were pulling up the metal where both sides of my roof meant. I called the State Wild Life Service and the U.S. Wild Life Service. They told me bluntly there was nothing they could do. These buzzards were bold. They would open there 6-6 1/2 foot wings when I slapped the door or clapped furiously. Imagine 25 6-7 pound Turkey Vultures landing on my roof at one time. Through research on Google, I learned that they landed to spread their wings and they also would urinate on their legs to help cook them and kill the bacteria on their feet. The urine is very damaging to asphalt shingles. I got some excellent pictures of them. Turkey Vultures also fly with Black Buzzard which are smaller but have a better sense of smell. When they (both species) spread their wings, they are drying them to kill the bacteria as well as drying them from the dew or rain making it more effective for them to ride the thermals looking for carrion. It should also be noted that the Turkey Vultures and Black Buzzards are New World Buzzard and not raptors. I took a very expensive ballistic laser and got range and angle coordinates. The closest perch for the look out was 65 yards. I began shooting 12 gauge 3 inch magnum loads which sprinkled the look out buzzard with shot. He would fly away unscathed and those on the roof would. They wood reappear several days later. I was getting really frustrated and the clatter they were making on the roof did not help. I finally read several forums I found on Google, They all said Buzzards were very social and absolutely hated the smell and sight of a dead buzzard. Well I waited until one happened to fly and land on top of my garage. I eased just the shotgun barrel through the back door and placed the gun sights on his head and pulled the trigger, My shotgun roared and the bird dropped like a stone on the ground. After that day the buzzards left not only my house but my neighborhood. It was a last resort but it works. If you do this with a fire arm, please refrain from using a rifle. The bullet will go right through the buzzard and keep going possibly injuring someone. Please do not remove the buzzard...his smell needs to really get into the ground. Remember it is against Federal Law to kill a buzzard. Please do so as a last resort. Good Luck.
Tradition has this James being thrown of a balcony/roof and before his death, he was beaten by a 'fuller's club' to death. Hence the symbolism. See related link:
The sound that is made when one holds his tongue against the roof of the mouth is called a "turkey call." This positioning is also used to form the "nt" sound.
The roof of the Lincoln Memorial is flat to create a sense of monumentality and to emphasize the classical architectural style, specifically the use of a temple-like structure. This design choice aligns with the Greek Doric columns that support the memorial, enhancing its grandeur and symbolism. Additionally, a flat roof allows for the incorporation of a large central chamber that houses the statue of Abraham Lincoln, making it a focal point of the memorial.
Providing the roof covers the same surface area in plan view (looking down from above it, i.e. the ground area covered), then the rain landing on it will be the same. In other words, a high pitched roof would have to be bigger to cover the same plan view surface area as a low pitched roof. For a given area covered by a roof, the pitch of the roof won't matter. If the pitch is so steep that the rain flows off it so fast that your gutters can't cope, then you will lose the rain and fail to collect it. What you need to maximise is the ground area covered by roof. This will maximise the rain you can collect.
In William Blake's poem "A Dream," the poetic devices used include alliteration, imagery, metaphor, and symbolism. Alliteration can be seen in phrases like "roof of sorrows," while metaphor is utilized in descriptions like "cage of bone." Symbolism is evident in the dream-like imagery of the poem, which conveys deeper philosophical meaning about life and death.

No, you would not land in the same place since the train is moving. Your horizontal velocity would be combined with the train's velocity, affecting your landing position.
At some parties (usually dance parties) you can get access to the night club roof. Also, when you play "jet pack adventure" the first two levels let you land on the roofs with the landing pads on them.

Nowhere in my collect do I find a superstition about geese landing on a roof. I have one that say s geese flying high means good weather is coming. Another one says low flying geese means bad weather is on the way. In Wales if all the geese leave a farmyard it is believed to be a sign of a fire coming.
A cold roof has insulation below the roof deck, allowing the roof to stay cold and prevent ice dams. A warm roof has insulation above the roof deck, keeping the roof warm and preventing condensation.
