oh this wake is not woke they are very rude
I'm not going to sit here and let you try to tell me a group of vultures is called a wake. It's not happening.
This is unrelated to this post but what is the practical reason different types of animal groups have different names anyway? If it's just for fun I understand, that's fine. But a buncha birds are a flock, buncha cows are a herd, groups of predators are a pack, etc. That's the English I use.
I think it is just fun. Vultures being scavengers, having a feast at a wake for the recently deceased.
If zoologists or whoever say "we decided to call their group a wake because, why not, it's fun" I get it and I am on board for that
A group of vultures is called a committee, venue or volt. In flight, a group of vultures is a kettle and when feeding at a carcass, the group is referred to as a wake.
Thank you, I love it 🐦⬛
