Pharaoh Vultureby *DeeOtter

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Birds

Egyptian vulture hanging out on the ground.
The Egyptian vultures are famous for using pebbles to crack open large eggs, which is pretty neat considering tool use is rare in birds.

Oh, such a handsome fellow! That is very interesting that this species can use tool and have the mental capacity to do so. The only other birds I was aware of doing so were parrot, but I would never think of a vulture! :T Thanks for sharing :>

It's a pretty rare ability. Crows also have the ability to use tools to obtain food.

wow I have to tell you that this photo is just glorious.I am amazed by the way this vulture seems to actually enjoying having this photo taken.Obviously a very aware creature and aware of the surroundings as well.

These guys were really awesome. Denver Zoo gets major brownie points for having these guys in a walk through aviary where you get the chance to get pretty close to them.
