The vultures I’ve seen hang together. Not only do they fly together they feed together.

“It’s impossible for vultures to fly off with animals bigger than them, as people have claimed, especially when those animals are alive.”

What about the giant tsetse flies (”José Grecos de Muertos” a.k.a. the Flamenco Dancers of Death) which carried away the peasant babies in “their beaks” (”The In-laws”).

Furthermore, they were protected “under the provisions of the Guacamole Act...”

SURELY, these vultures are protected as well....

Mrs. Bundy, elderly ornithologist: I have never known birds of different species to flock together. The very concept is unimaginable. Why, if that happened, we wouldn’t stand a chance! How could we possibly hope to fight them?

Black vultures will kill:

I much prefer the local turkey buzzards.

sooner or later you’d think the vultures would get the idea and cross spain off of their maps

This story is actually about birds. I thought it was going to be about Democrats.

So.. why don’t they just quit burning carcasses or shoot the darned vultures?

Thanks for the quotes which just makes me want to see the movie again. We say “Serpentine, Shelly!” around this household. Certain lines are classics. My kids particularly liked, “I have flames on my car!”
