...they arrived in Belgium
...and the southern provinces of the Netherlands, but they did not stay long
...in the Spainish Pyrenean they could not find enough food
...they are getting fed pig by friendlies
...oh I forgot tell who the new tourist are: they are vultures

....welcome...

Aren't birds, especially the exotic kind, supposed to be romantic?

Mmh, vultures remind me of a Tex Avery cartoon

strange to over vultures

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/06/19/europe/EU-GEN-Belgium-Vultures.php

It was a cartoon where two vultures didn't have anything to eat and were trying to trick each other into their own plate. I think there was an intermission showing a nice juicy steak in that one

Vultures remind me of 'A son of the Circus' by John Irving.

I liked the vultures in "Jungle Book" - they had Liverpudlian accents and Beatle-hairstyles

You've got a friend...

'A son of the Circus' is only one I have finish

sorry forgot a important word

Well, it's quite a few pages to read

that is true...my fav is still "the world according to Garp". I wanted to be eye witness of some sort.

Oh brilliant! Now there are the sort of global migrants without passports that I fully support!

we have two leg versions flooding over here

err! vultures have two legs anyway

four legged might be bit much!

they could breed chickens with 4 legs, for a family version

yeah and chicken for parties!

chicken
maybe its just the hormones but chicken makes me really ill at the moment....

do not eat them!

can't see a chicken, but!

Dr Athena ... oh dear, it may be what they pump into these intensively reared birds, poor things, both before and after death. It makes me feel ill at the way they are treated by humans.

Back to the vultures, there was a bit about it on the radio this morning. This migration is all down to the bleeping EU and the new rule that all dead animals must be removed from the land asap, therefore the Spanish Vultures are finding it increasingly difficult to find food and have spread far and wide in search of it. Cussid really as I believe they are a protected species and their future is now threatened by more EU beaurocracy and meddling. Apparently they still have a chance to find some food as the French are not implimenting this carcass removal rule so strictly as the Spanish ... or something like that. Missed some of what they said on the radio as kettle boiling, dog wanting to be let out and so on with the morning chores..

they'll find food in Britainmost of the morons, throw pizza's and the like all over the streets
