Vultures don’t come in “hordes.” Sheesh.

Vultures come in kettles, committees or wakes
* “Kettle” refers to vultures in flight
* “Committee” refers to vultures resting on the ground or in trees
* “Wake” is a group of vultures that are feeding

How many other birds have THREE names for groups in various activities?

My favorite is a “squadron of pelicans.”

Actually, these vulture terms sound apropos for Democrats. They are always feeding on us; they are always flying off on junkets; and they are always resting.

Yep!

But we're not suppose to edit the headlines of stories we're posting here.

Or in a Congressional Hearing.

“My favorite is a “squadron of pelicans”

It occured to me once that pigeons flying around and around in their silly circles should be called a “panic of pigeons”. They are the idiots of the bird world. Maybe they’re Democrats. Seems fitting.

[Does so]

* “Kettle” refers to vultures in flight

Look carefully, and you'll see other large birds sharing their airspace. (e.g.: Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Redtail Hawks).

A friend who soars gliders in those updrafts says the birds "chat" among themselves.
