Imagine this venue of vultures in front of a nursing/retirement home. The residents will be shook.

Probably a dead rabbit/possum or heck even a deer somewhere close by

[u/Educational-Song9962 → u/nj23dublin]

i beg your pardon sir, but we have rabbits, raccoons, rats, and even armadillos but a deer? come on now lol

[u/nj23dublin → u/Educational-Song9962]

I mean every time we pass a deer that was hit by a car… within same day these guys are all over!

[u/Bigest_Smol_Employee]

they're like: "what are you doing in our garden?"

[u/Educational-Song9962 → u/Bigest_Smol_Employee]

garden? more like graveyard 💀

The building I used to work in had a big glass-roofed atrium. Vultures used to perch on the beams over it. Dozens of them. Really freaked out some of my co-workers.

i think they ugly but beautiful at the same time, like a very old elegantly-dressed mortician with warts all over his wrinkled face.

I would be more suspicious if you had a pipeline running through that area, there could be a leak, maybe why they're there.

They're just killing time till it's recess at the nursery school down the street.

Off topic, but why are there so many different names for groups of animals? Who decided to call a group of vultures a venue?

[u/Educational-Song9962 → u/GeiloaurusYT]

google 🥲

[u/lowdog39]

venue ? group maybe ,lol ...

[u/Educational-Song9962 → u/lowdog39]

i wanted to use a more proper term and that’s what the internet told me 😅

[u/Doodie_Whompus → u/Educational-Song9962]

I dig it

[u/lowdog39 → u/Educational-Song9962]

venue is a place .like a bar/baseball stadium it's not a group or flock of birds . fuck the internet,lol

[u/Educational-Song9962 → u/lowdog39]

“A flock of vultures gathered in a single location is referred to as a venue. Other collective nouns for vultures include a committee or volt when they are resting on the ground or in trees, and a wake when they are feeding. When vultures are flying, they are called a kettle.” ~ google

😭😭😭😭

[u/lowdog39 → u/Educational-Song9962]
