Extended metaphor - A rush of tourists, 'clucked contentedly', fluttered after him as he scattered the grain of the Word. 'Introduces the tourists who follow the priest, happily swallowing every word.'
This extended metaphor suggests that the tourists are compared to chickens; these are 'brainless' creatures and when they are being fed, they fall on the grain, fluttering over each other to get at it; suggests the tourists act in the same manner.
