Whitebacked Vulture
Size: Like a long tailless peacock. 92 cm.
If there is one characteristic of birds, it is their feathers. There is no bird without feathers. There are few birds that have any part of their body without feathers. The vulture is one of them, with the feathers and headless feathers of many birds of its genus. This makes the vulture look ugly. His way of sitting is also awkward. It looks like a sack that encloses with a drawstring.Dark gray on top of the vulture. Large white patch on the back. The body seems to have a muffler wrapped around its neck due to the soft feathers whitening at the end of the dock. Round and short from tail end. When flying, a whitish stripe appears on the underside of the wing. Males resemble females. Watch the vultures fly so all their awkwardness disappears. They fly high in the sky for hours without fluttering their wings. Go round and round and climb higher and higher. I saw such a small plane. This plane of the house of nature flies without making a sound. When it flies above the ground, it initially has to flutter its wings. But after reaching a certain height, it flies effortlessly for hours on its wide wings. Silent, silent as a canoe floats in water.
The vulture is a carnivorous bird. They do not hunt for food. They eat the flesh of dead cattle or other dead animals. Eat a lot. Eat as much as you get the chance to fly. Sit on the ground for a long time. Counting the carcasses of large animals like cows and buffaloesWipe clean in minutes, leaving only the bones clean. There is so much accumulation on the carcasses of dead animals that the carcass is not visible. The vulture is seen as a vulture rather than pushing and shoving. Many are disgusted to see the vulture society pushing others, falling on each other, screaming, pulling meat from carcasses. But imagine what would happen if there were no vultures. For days the carcasses of dead cattle would be eaten, the stench would spread and pests would be produced in it, causing severe damage to human health. In this way the vulture is a very useful bird for human society.
Three families of this vulture occur in our region. Let's introduce them.
