The Griffon Vultures egg, laid on January 18 this year, proved infertile.
This was found by the Wildlife Rescue Center team after the incubation period has expired and the egg was taken for inspection. We remind you that the birds were put together half a year before the start of the breeding period, during which they managed to form a pair. They were actively building a nest and had breeding behavior.
Although the pair will be without offspring this year, we decided to stimulate the birds' parental instincts by laying an artificial egg, which they continued to hatch. Thus, in case we come across an orphaned Griffon Vulture chick, we can use the couple as foster parents.
The Griffon Vulture conservation and breeding activities are carried out within the project:
