name tweak. I honestly wanted a cool or potent word that relates the task of smelling something. This bird smells when something dies.
This card is undeniably fun. It's got quite a black feel to it with the "sacrifice one of you minions to keep my other minions alive" feeling. I like flying lords, and almost every "flying tribal" card so far has been white, blue or both. Yet there are plenty of flying creatures in black, so I think it's a great idea to encourage you to build a flying deck with black in it.
The global -2/-2 effect I'm not sure counts as fun. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is a brutal effect on mana dorks and utility creatures, and I always groan when I see her hit the table (second only to Sheoldred). But, eh, it's a rare black win condition. It at least encourages interesting deckbuilding: better to use Gilded Goose than Paradise Druid, and suchlike.
I'll just note that the mechanics of the final effect are quite old-school, as in, it makes your opponents' fliers indestructible as well. I think it would be fine to only protect your own.
Added in "you control" to the second ability. Reduced the -2/-2 to -1/-1
