In German, we have "Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach". Notice that all nouns are capitalized in German.
But that one is really easy to understand when you know German, unlike the buffalos
Yup. I know a bit of German, but that doesn't help with the buffalos at all.

People who say that this is grammatically correct need to resit GCSE English
It is grammatically correct, just semantically ambiguous. Buffalo is a proper noun, a noun, and a verb.
