Again and again: Believability is closely linked to parsimony! Do you intend to let everybody invent their own species? To the point where there are no two members of the same race?

As for their origin, they are vulture-like in appearance and tendancies, but I don't think I put that they were descended from vultures in so many words

Well, not since you edited your post.
