Egyptian Vulture soaring, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India

The Egyptian Vulture is found in the open country and in the neighborhood of human habitation and ranges from southwestern Europe and northern Africa to India. Egyptian Vultures feed mainly on carrion but are opportunistic and will prey on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. They also feed on the eggs of other birds, breaking larger ones by tossing a large pebble onto them. An interesting behavior trait is the ability to kill and consume standard fresh water turtles.
