The Egyptian Vulturr

in #steemit7 years ago

The Egyptian vulture is a critically endangered species found through southwestern Europe and northern Africa to India.

One big reason for this species' decline is secondary poisoning due to anti inflammatory drugs used in livestock. Many old work vulture species suffer from secondary poisoning, as well as intentional poisonings and habitat loss.

Glad you likes it @jarib. Welcome to the world of bird. Thanks for apperciation and upvote. Stay tuned for more photos!

Vultures have something about them which makes them both repulsive (because of their looks and behavior), and yet appealing (because of their intelligence?). It's a bit like crows - you either like them or you don't.

For me, there something unique about vultures that makes me like them.

Haha. Well observed. Vultures are love.

how do you have access to all these birds. I've started following big birds like this. In my country i love how the eagles fly over in groups I will post about this today. Great post and its sad that they are declining due to this stupid reason. I wonder how its affecting humans.
