Amazing

These birds are amazing!!! Love them! Awesome creation!!

My absolute favourite vulture is the Egyptian one. I like their other name - Pharaoh's chicken! 😆 They're rather pretty, especially in captivity where they're well looked after and have clean surroundings as their plumage is white and they have a mop of white feathers on their head. I fell in love with them about 30 years back when I saw a video of one who liked to collect rocks. He didn't fly back with it but held it in his beak and marched back instead. They use rocks to break open eggs for eating. Not many people would say a vulture was cute and adorable but he really was! Sadly, they're endangered everywhere they occur. ☹️😢

Ooh, fantastic! Vultures really deserve love and their numbers are dropping off, very alarmingly in some places. Farmers in these countries are putting out heavily poisoned carcasses as they want to eliminate predators attacking their free-roaming livestock but they're also killing off vultures. 🤬🤬🤬 Stupid stupid people. All it takes are a keeping a couple of big herding dogs, raising the dogs with their cattle, sheep or goats for their livestock to be protected. I'm sure you know how the system works.

And it is very effective. Those involved in the conservation of cheetahs in southern African regions have convinced native herders to use these dogs rather than shooting cheetahs. The herders have found it to be MORE effective than shooting cheetahs after the loss of an animal. This way, they haven't lost any of their animals. The large dogs have already been used for a couple of centuries by herders in south-central regions of Europe and Anatolia. They didn't have guns back then.
