Vultures are the salt of the air, the avian elite, the princes of ornianism. Everyone knows that. Even a little tit like me knows that. They are Opportunity Makers, as they themselves admit, and not scum-sucking carrion feeders at all.

Imagine my surprise, then, when a prominent vulture accused a vulturine colleague of living off the remains of dead creatures. You could've knocked me over with a feather. What is this world coming to, when a vulture calls a vulture a vulture?
