🆔️ The Egyptian vulture ▪︎🦅🦅 The use of the vulture as a symbol of royalty in Egyptian culture and their protection by Pharaonic law made the species common on the streets of Egypt and gave rise to the name "pharaoh's chicken"...🕉️🌈 The Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), also called the white scavenger vulture or pharaoh's chicken, is a small Old World vulture and the only member of the genus Neophron. It is widely distributed; the Egyptian vulture is found from the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa to India. The contrasting underwing pattern and wedge-shaped tail make it distinctive in flight as it soars in thermalsduring the warmer parts of the day. 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 . .❤🕉 EOS Canon 700d Tamron G2 • Follow & Use Tag ⤵ #himachalwildlifepicture 🌉 🕊 🐾 #canonphotos #egyptianvulture #eagleworld #himachalpradesh #eaglelover #indianbirds #egyptian #vulture #griffonvulture #canon #himachalphotos #himachal #birds 🐦 #raptor #birdsworld #indianbirds #wildlifeasia #himachal #wildlife 💌 ❣🦃🐦🕊😊 📸 #CapturedOnCanon #birdphotos #birdsphotography #photography 📷📺 #natgeo #flyingbirds #wildllifephotography 🗻 🕊🐧 #birdsofhimachal #himachalwildlife #northindiawildlife #himachalanimals #himachalbirds @canon_photos @canonindia_official "Save Wildlife & Save World."🕊️❤️ @natgeo @natgeoindia @bbcearth @wildlifeindia @natgeochannel @natgeowild @natgeoasia @discovery @birds_captures @birds.nature @birds_private @best_birds_of_ig @wild.planet @sanctuaryasia @birds_adored @lonelyplanetmagazineindia @natgeoyourshot @canonasia @best_birds_planet @best_birds_of_world @animalplanetindia @discoverychannelin @wildlifesos 🕊️🌲🌏🥀🦋 (at Chamba, Himachal Pradesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQL1KMQJ5v_/?utm_medium=tumblr
