Philadelphia CBS ^ | March 8, 2019 | Cleve Bryan

Menacing-looking vultures are taking over a town in South Jersey and residents want them to buzz off. Hordes of vultures have been hanging around in Mount Holly. Residents want them gone but not everybody feels that way as environmentalists say the vultures are an important part of the ecosystem.

They were waiting for the democratic convention to be anounced.

I live 30 minutes away, and I’ve been to this town. This story is being overblown. We’ve always had lots of turkey vultures in this area.

Turkey vultures are all over NJ for some reason. Yes, sometimes road kill...even animal “spoor.”

To them, even a rabbit is "menacing' to them. We're lucky they are not calling 911 every hour, on the hour.

I don't know why this story is even on the news. No one looks at these turkey vultures twice in NJ, especially in Burlington County. Everyone is used to them.

Actually, that was just this year's "Miss America" contest there in New Jersey.   Organizers recognized in the past that many pulchritudinously challenged women were being unfairly discriminated against in that contest, so they decided to do away with the "pretty face" component of the contest this year.   (Last year, they eliminated the swimsuit competition, for similar reasons.)

I live in a semi-rural area. Several years ago, a small town nearby was having difficulty with turkey vultures roosting in a grove of trees in the center of town. Their smelly droppings were all over the sidewalk.

While the town council was trying to come up with ways of making them go away, they were considering a system that would scare the birds with loud sounds. They are protected, so nobody is allowed to harm them.

Lucky for the town, some old farmer clued them in. He told them to hang a dead vulture in the trees. Lucky for the townspeople, there was a roadkill vulture available. Problem solved. The birds left the town.

Wish I’d known that a few years ago. A “committee” of vultures took over the playground at the daycare center where my daughter worked. There had to be at least 45-50 of them hanging out. They couldn’t let the kids play outside because of all the droppings and some of the birds were aggressive. They tried playing loud music, balloons with giant eyeball markings, but the dang things just hung around; if an adult came outside, they might flap off a few yards away but they weren’t scared at all. After a couple of weeks they left, en masse, and everything was scrubbed down so the kids could play outside again. Weird!

They migrate from north to south and back every winter. This is how they do it, in huge flocks like that. They will move on as soon as they are sure winter is over. We have them land for a few days like this... Hundreds of them migrating together. When they finally take off all at once to move on it looks like a black corkscrew tornado. Pretty cool to watch actually.

"Were those vultures DemonRATs? ”

Of course. They're waiting around for free meal, won't think of working for their own, hang around the sick and dying, waiting for the opportune moment then claim the remains as theirs. Or sit around a carcass brought down by "Alpha" on the food chain who did the bloody work and then, when the Alpha's attention is diverted, fight among themselves for the meager scraps. Then, fly off to their nests which they promptly foul.

If that don't say "democrat" I don't know what does.

The vultures got bad directions
