Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Tool use in any non-human species is a rare and notable event; particularly so for the Egyptian vulture. These birds use pebbles to break open the thick egg shells other birds for food, and have been recorded using twigs to roll up wool for use in their nest. These behaviours are unique only to certain subspecies, but are nonetheless remarkable for their demonstration of intelligence.

We hope you enjoy these brightly-plumed scavengers from the British Birds section of Sir William Jardine’s The Naturalist's Library. 

The accompanying text says of Neophron percnopterus (a.k.a. the Egyptian vulture):

"Its general food appears to be carrion in all its forms, and in some parts [of England] it is protected on account of its utility in clearing off putrid substances; at the same time, it is said occasionally to feed on reptiles and the smaller animals."

top 5 birds of prey?

BIRDS. love birds. unfortunately I know VERY little about birds compared to snakes :(

I have absolutely no bias for a specific type of bird of prey. I don't know what you're talking about what I never have

5: white-bellied sea eagle (haliaeetus leucogaster)

I will be honest, I know very little about it so I have no room to speak. HOWEVER. it has a very special place in my heart because it was compared to me.

my beloved bird now

4: himalayan vulture (himalayan griffon vulture/ gyps himalayensis)

BIG. huge. big wingspan. I fucking ADORE these things they look.. soft.. but also I've never seen a vulture that looks so wise. it almost seems regal.

also, THE NICKNAME?? GRIFFON VULTURE?? THATS INCREDIBLE

3: egyptian vulture (neophron percnopterus)

Just. incredible in so many ways. I worry for them (endangered? i think). but. look at them

yellow.. they remind me of seagulls for some reason. they have that same stare. but I. holding them. holding them. also their history in ancient egyptian belief is?? fascinating?? like. God. also I can't not love smth called pharoah's chicken

2: loggerhead shrike (lanius ludovicianus)

Does this count? I don't think it counts but I'm putting it because this is the most hardcore little bastard ever. I love shrikes. they impale prey on branches or barbed wire to eat them. THEY ARE CALLED THE BUTCHERBIRD. THEYRE RAPTORS AND PREDATORS AND YET? THEY LOOK LIKE THIS?

incredible thing

1: bearded vulture (gypaetus barbatus)

These are so important to me. you don't understand. like I've made these things a part of my identity. They're so fucking cool and so interesting and one of the most metal vultures I've ever heard of. they were the originator of my interest in vultures ans my interest in bone-collecting and taxidermy. I owe a large part of my identity to them and they're just Sick As Fuck in general. love you, lammergeier

#asks #🦅 #ask game #I'm so sorry I'm clueless about birds and i have an. issue. with my vulture-based obsession #everytime i see a scavenger bird in the air i just stare at it like 👁👁 until i can no longer see it #use to watch them dry their wings of morning dew on fences. my grandmother has a story about it too. in love with Vulture

Los alimoches crían mayor número de machos en Canarias que en la Península

Para esta investigación han monitorizado más de 1600 pollos de alimoche de la España peninsular y las islas a lo largo de tres décadas Un equipo de investigación en el que participan el Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid (MNCN) y la Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD), y, ambos del CSIC, ha comprobado que las parejas de alimoches, Neophron percnopterus, en las islas Canarias, frente a…
