Egyptian Vulture at Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan, India
Egyptian Vulture at Keoladeo National Park is known by many interesting names - one being Pharaoh's Chicken and the other a White Scavenger Vulture.
The Egyptian Vulture is commonly found solo or in pairs either soaring high with other birds of prey, or perched on the ground or atop a rock.
It has distinctive wedge-shaped tail and being an opportunist it preys on small mammals, birds, reptiles, bird eggs and insects hidden in dung - though commonly feed mainly on carrion or decaying flesh.
A riveting note is that Egyptian vultures roll up wool around twigs for building their nests - and are known to use pebbles as a hammer to break bird eggs.
