*Note to self, there must be sufficient magical means of food storage, growth, creation and/or transport to ensure a plentiful supply of fresh and delicious food at the oasis. The bandits no doubt kept animals for meat as well as work, but the oasis was probably not large enough to keep them all in fresh meat year round.
I was considering a vulture-feathered cloak that allowed Winged Flight, and gave one of Acute Vision or Acute Smell and had the same drawback, but then I realized you'd said bustards, not buzzards, and the former aren't very good flier nor notable carrion eaters.
