Huddled on their perches, wrapped in shabby vestments, the birds look like a group of balding monks gathered in prayer. The next quote is quite the bummer, and it says more about humans than vultures, but I couldn’t resist bringing a bit of existentialism into a post about vultures. That’s just not right.
