I have been the target of a surprised vulture’s vomit while being completely unaware of its presence in the tree above me. That was one of the most miserable experiences I’ve ever had. I look up much more often now.

Apparently I dated a turkey vulture in school…
Fun fact: vultures can eat dead stuff thanks to super acidic tummies. Battery acid in there!
TBH that is pretty metal.
