A New York couple's luxurious Florida vacation home has been taken over by dozens of black vultures that are vomiting and defecating everywhere.

The Palm Beach Post reports the Casimano family can't even visit the $702,000 home they purchased earlier this year in the Ibis Golf and Country Club.

Siobhan Casimano describes the smell as "like a thousand rotting corpses," and says vultures have destroyed their screened enclosures, overtaken the pool and dented their cars with their beaks.

Neighbor Cheryl Katz has also complained about the issue. She says another neighbor excessively feeds vultures, causing them to keep returning.

2. What on earth is the neighbor feeding the vultures? They eat carrion!

Is she robbing graves, collecting road kill, or what?

3. Maybe that's why they are vomiting --wrong food. nt

Nope

4. That's the shits! My daughter has a similar problem with peacocks that roam her neighborhood.

Not the vomiting but crapping everywhere, scratching and denting cars, and attacking pets.

6. I hate it when that happens

"The vultures chewed the owls apart," she said. "They ripped the heads off."

8. I don't know about Florida, but where I live people are told to not feed

the wildlife. Of course for us it usually means deer or squirrels. Actually any wild animal can become a problem if they learn to be dependent on people.

The neighborhood should report the guy who is feeding the vultures because it could become a community health problem.

9. This is what we've devolved to?

Now we seek out stories we can title "Florida Bird"???

10. Did you hear about the vulture who decided to fly south on an airliner?

The clerk said, "I see you have a dead armadillo there. Will you be checking that in as baggage?"

The vulture replied, "No, that's carrion."
