Cinereous Vulture

The cinereous vulture is a largely solitary bird, being found alone or in pairs much more frequently than most other Old World vultures. At large carcasses or feeding sites, small groups may congregate. Such groups can rarely include up to 12 to 20 vultures, with some older reports of up to 30 or 40.

Hilly, mountainous areas, especially favoring dry semi-open habitats such as meadows at high altitudes over much of the range.

Feeds on carrion of almost any type, from the largest mammals available to fish and reptiles.

The egg clutch is typically only a single egg, though 2 may be exceptionally laid.
