During the last month the team of the Green Balkans’ Wildlife rehabilitation and breeding center in partnership with the Bulgarian society for the protection of birds (BSPB) took part in the preparation of six young Egyptian vultures which were released in the region of Potochnitsa, Eastern Rhodope mountain.
Health examination was made by the vets from the Rescue center. The birds were tagged with GPS transmitters for the purposes of real-time monitoring of their movements and behavior in the period after their release and in the following years.
Earlier in the day together with students from “Ivan Vazov’ Primary school in the village of Potochnitsa the International day of migratory birds was celebrated with presentation for the Egyptian vulture and the challenges they meet on their migratory way to Africa. The students learned about the difficulties in life of this globally endangered from extinction species and the activities for its conservation. They were interested to hear about the faith of Luis and Paulina – the two Egyptian vultures graduates from the “Vulture school” in 2023.
The activities of Green Balkans, related with the release of Egyptian vultures in the region of Potochnitsa village are implemented with the financial support of the International center for birds of prey ICBP.
