  • austinger He's getting big! Now over 2kg. #ruppellsgriffinvulture #vulture #birdofprey #bird #zoo   2mon
  • stephnparrots What a wee beauty   2mon

  • vulturedreams @stephnparrots lol thanks for the tag. Your zoo is brave to hand rear a Rüppell's! Haha @austinger :)   2mon
  • austinger @vulturedreams we are doing this but trying to avoid the imprint process. We are using a puppet beak and a ghillie suit to try to stop the chick imprinting on humans. This little chap is going away to another zoo to be a aviary bird for 18 months as soon as its old enough then we will bring it back and fly it. We all know hand reared vultures can be mental.....   2mon
  • vulturedreams Ahh I see. Yeah, I've worked with only one imprint vulture & it was enough to put me off imprinting vultures for life. He's a seriously insane wee guy!   2mon
  • austinger @vulturedreams we have one 2 year old imprint who isn't that bad but we had one before we moved in as it was really bad. Seems to vary bird to bird.   2mon
  • austinger But hopefully this one will be fine. We just won't know for 2 years a long wait.   2mon

  • austinger Ruppell's Griffin Vulture chick. 17 days old. The best Easter chick! #vulture #chick #birdofprey   3mon
  • kmorrison92 This is adorable, definitely better than a traditional Easter chick.   3mon
  • austinger @kmorrison92 He's a right little character. Fed himself for the first time today really pleased.   3mon
  • kmorrison92 He's a cracker! Starting to come out his shell now? (Pardon the pun) Love seeing a young animal develop a character.   3mon
  • austinger @kmorrison92 shocking pun! He's a right little lad scoffs his food then goes straight back to sleep every time I go to feed him he needs a prod to wake him up. Swear he's half Sloth!!   3mon
  • kmorrison92 That's so adorable, lazy vulture! Please keep posting photos of him as he grows up, would love to see it! What a little cutie.   3mon
  • austinger @kmorrison92 definitely will keep sharing the vulture photos.   3mon
