What is a group of vultures in flight called?

Unlike many raptors, vultures are relatively social and often feed, fly or roost in large flocks. A group of vultures has been called a committee, venue or volt. In flight, a flock of vultures is a kettle and when the birds are feeding together at a carcass, the group is called a wake or committee. The name kettle is used when vultures catch thermal updrafts and take on the appearance of water boiling in a pot. Because vultures are so efficient at finding thermals, other birds such as hawks will look for kettles of vultures and then fly over to take advantage of the rising air.

Vultures are scavenging birds of prey and have been in the world for centuries. Most members of the species have featherless necks and heads. This feature allows them to be recognized and directly categorized as scavengers.

A nickname given to vultures is “carrion-eaters”. They will scavenge on dead creatures. Vultures however are not by themselves; some other birds will also feed on dead bodies. There birds are also considered “carrion-eaters”. The birds who will usually eat other stuffs as well as animal cadavers are routinely called "generalists". This is a term that isn't applied to vultures.

Vultures are birds who have specialized in eating only the dead. They fear eating live flesh. They will often be the first birds people come across that are carrion-eaters. They are the scavengers who play a very important role in man's ecosystem by consuming all the dead cadavers they can find.
