Below is Stephen Debus' comment on this thread.

Greg Clancy

"It's well known that Bazas eat fruit (e.g. HANZAB), picking figs from
among the branches.  I wouldn't be surprised by the scavenging kites
trying a bit of fallen fruit if it looked edible, and avocados are
high in oil so they may be attractive.  There is an African raptor
that specialises in fruit-- the Palm-nut Vulture (on fruits of the
oil-palm).
I'd be wary of some of the less believable claims."
