I had a fright when I went out my back door this afternoon. A flock of vultures was right there! I know I'm getting old and all, but I'm not quite ready for them to start pecking on me yet.

Luckily, it wasn't me they were after this time, but a large dead raccoon near my house. Whew.

When my kids get scared that there might be monsters in the closet, I often tell them, "Any monsters you kill, you get to EAT!" That gets them out of their frightened, "I-am-prey" mindset, and gets them thinking along more assertive lines. (If they've got a plastic sword or a foam-rubber baseball bat to clutch, this seems to work a little better.)

I often follow up with, "What kind of sauce do you think you'd like with monster? Honey mustard? Barbecue? Ranch?"

I'm hearing less of the "monster" problems lately. Maybe they're afraid to hang out in our closets.

Or maybe that's why the barbecue sauce has been disappearing so quickly...

Same, here. When I. says there's a monster in the closet/in the dark/under the bed/wherever, I always ask her, "Shall we eat it?!" Then we start discussing plans about how we can surprise it, trap it, and take it down.
 
That's funny vic !!!

They are an ugly bird eh ! It's a shame that the mid flight pic came out a little blurry cos that would have been an awesome shot....stupid camera's !!!!
 
I've often seem them circling when I'm sitting outside in a chair. So far I haven't the patience to lure them in...
 
I like it when they show up around here in the spring. One of the heralds of spring. They are fun bird to watch fly.

I don't remember that. What episode was it? I have season 1, still waiting on a good sale to get season 2. Season 3 is picking up.."Ghostfacers" was pretty funny.
 
Turkey vultures have tried taking over a grove of oaks on the front of my ranch. About 100 of them come in late in the afternoon to roost . The stench was getting pretty bad from the crap. I use the 12 ga to run them off. They keep coming back after a few days. Pain in the ass, but they serve a useful purpose so I don't want to kill any of them.
