Florida distributes anti-vulture kits to protect visitors' cars

Bizarre behavior isn't reserved for humans in Florida. Vultures, those creepy-looking birds that circle over cadavers, have traded in picking over corpses for plucking off windshield wipers and other assorted rubberized automotive parts in Florida's Everglades. Officials have tried squirting them with water guns and hanging dead ones in the trees to teach them a lesson, but the real-life angry birds continue to cause massive damage, sparking parks to distribute anti-vulture kits to visitors.

Ahh ... could it be a case of bird-brained jealousy? [Source]
