    I don't even think dogs would like Trump.

    Was just teasing you on the grammar. Only because you indicated I was, how did you put it? Making smoke?

    So I felt I needed to make smoke! The only real grammar stuff that drives me nuts is when people here at the office use irregardless. That sends me over the falls. I don't know why.

    Wrong again. A hawk is not a vulture. And, for future reference, a turtle is not a tortoise.

    I have yet ever to see a hawk eat road kill. I see buzzards/vultures doing this all the time.

    I don't see anything in the article referenced by your Google Search saying they eat dead rotting carrion - https://birdeden.com/what-do-hawks-eat

    They prey on animals, both dead and alive. They swallow the bones, feathers or fur of their prey.

    What does preying on dead animals mean to you?

    You really are a flip-flopper aren't you. I never said anything about mostly or always, I said hawks do eat already dead and rotting meat. It doesn't matter how often, lol.
    It will eat dead animals and that's what I said.

    You also said a hawk was a vulture.

    How does something "prey" on dead animals, anyway? I know English isn't your first language, but if "prey" means to hunt or kill, and something is already dead...hmm. Seems a strange google site you found.

    He does not seem to understand that a vulture is a species of bird. I think he intends to say scavenger. I noticed that he is often wrong, but, almost never admits it.

    It's probably a language thing with him, I'm guessing. I think he speaks German, doesn't he? I know he and Volpunter were always best buddies.
