Overview
Angulu is the vulture spirit in Tremearne’s account. The report attributes unpleasant bodily smell to her and associates offerings with fowls resembling her colour. It does not supply a precise vulture species or a separate transformation from a human into a bird.
Her representative squats, flaps the arms like wings and makes appropriate bird noises. The song concerns meat left until it smells, linking the performed bird character with the odour association. Hankaka and Gauraka are said to use similar movements in the following notices, but remain separately named crow and crown-bird roles. The small amount of evidence is retained without enlarging it into an invented feeding episode.
