ROSWELL, Ga. - A newly engaged Georgia couple thought they were spending a peaceful weekend at home without the kids. But an intruder quickly changed those plans.
Vernalisa Rougeux and her fiancé Jake Totri came back to their Roswell home to find a vulture in their living room.
were the leftovers in the fridge too long and started to stank like roadkill? Or was it the plate of chicken bones and uneaten cole slaw under the bed in the guest room?
I hit one one of those damn things last weekend. It flew out of the ditch on the other side of the road and into my lane. It blew out my windshield.
Not 30 minutes earlier, a dove flew in front of my car and bounced off my hood. That didn't cause any damage to the car, but I can't say the same for the dove.
I've never hit a bird in my life. Last Sunday, I hit ( got hit by ) two within an hour if each other.
I had a group of aggressive turkeys that I fought off with an umbrella. The trick is to open and close it rapidly, like some big ugly bird flapping it's wings. They found some place else they needed to be. We have a lot of turkeys around here. They have no fear of people and pretty much wander around where they want to.
Same in TN. I recently read an article that the TN wildlife agency will not enforce the prohibition against killing black headed vultures. Some might cite racism, but it was stated that black headed vultures will kill young animals in addition to looking for carrion. They described that the birds will wait while a mother cow is birthing and kill the newborn calf by pecking its eyes out. I only see turkey vultures around here.

ReplyDeleteShe should tell him they should both date other men.
ReplyDelete…and I quote, “ There are two types of vultures that can be found naturally around Georgia: Turkey and Black.”
