Puzzle Description:

two vultures (not the loveliest of creatures perhaps, but there are little vultures as well...)

I loooOOOOooove your vultures. Who knew they would make such darlin' pics for such a small puzzle? I rated it as solvable with some guessing since I had to use what some solvers call "edge logic" (twice), but I call "guessing" because one has to use the process of elimination to solve.

I'm sure they love each other, regardless of what we think of them! They have faces only their own species could love...if only they were really as cute as yours are, Vindersloon!

Interesting that back-to-back puzzles are two vultures, just in different positions. There may still be more similar puzzles, but I have only solved the first two created today. Edge logic on the far right "4" and similarly on the far left "3" helped me solve it.

I rated it completely solvable because the logic to solve the last bit is really a variation on "smile logic" -- if you extend a certain segment one square in direction it results in extending the same segment in the other direction and vice versa.

I liked that it was difficult, I'm not sure I see the birds though.

line/color logic and one instance of two-way here.

Excellent. I think the vulture gets a bad rap. They are amazing birds.
