Vultures don't, in fact, circle above dead things. And they most certainly do not circle above dying things; patiently waiting for the dying thing to curse at them and then fall dead so they can go and eat it. If you see vultures circling way up high in the sky, nine times out of ten they haven't found anything yet!
