Six griffon vultures move to Salzburg Zoo
It was planned for a year, now the time has come: six female griffon vultures have traveled from Spain to Hellbrunn Zoo in Salzburg.
The females are between two and nine years old and some of them are unable to fly due to injuries. Special conditions must therefore be created for the animals at the zoo.
"The enclosure built especially for flightless vultures has been inhabited by our black vulture Yoyo for one and a half years. It has therefore been through a long test phase," explains curator Lisa Sernow.
Suitable partners are soon to be found for the flightless griffon vultures and the black vulture. There are plenty of suitable places to build nests on the site.
The aim is to release the healthy offspring into the wild and thus build up the wild population.
