Again, I wish I was kidding. Apparently the Mexicans have trained the vultures to do their evil bidding. First the birds shit on our communications, then the Mexicans stroll across with impunity when the border patrol is rendered impotent.
I learned from this article that a group of vultures is called “a kettle of vultures.”
I don’t know why English has all these different group words instead of just calling all bird groups a “flock,” but they are truly fascinating, and some are quite beautiful.
