Vulture Culture: What is the name of the vultures in Jungle Book?

Mowgli encounters a group of solemn vultures, who closely resemble the Beatles, and they say they'll be his friend. The vultures comically argue about "what do you want to do?" and continually sidetrack Mowgli with their pointless arguments.

The characters modeled after the Beatles, with Ziggy as the “John Lennon” member, Dizzy is “George Harrison”, Buzzy is “Ringo”, and Flaps is “Paul McCartney”.

This could be a great addition to the whole “Vultures” backstory and mystique. Who do you want to be? I don't know. Who do you want to be? Ah! Don't start that again!"
