Sweet story of a baby bearded vulture and a male bearded vulture trained to be the foster parent

This video is about trying to rescue the bearded vultures in Europe. In this particular case it is about a baby chick who will be raised by a foster male bearded vulture adult. It is a really sweet video featuring the baby and to some degree the foster daddy bird.

Yes, that’s a wonderful story and video - downright teary-eyed as the chick is first born, fed, and then adopted by it’s new parent. And those are such beautiful huge birds - Thanks for posting that!

- @stolicat @kyeh I get article abstracts from this source and while it is kind of long it was pretty amazing. Whomever filmed this and created the video did a wonderful job as well. Glad the two of you liked it.

I showed this to my daughter (going on 5.years old). So we’ve been playing baby vulture and daddy vulture for 2 days now.
