The Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds announced the first successful hatching of Egyptian vultures in the wild in our country. The bird is considered the most endangered species on the Balkan Peninsula.
The female bird, named Izzy, was hatched and raised at the Green Balkans Wildlife Rescue Center in 2019, and a year later was released in the Eastern Rhodopes. The male vulture Lucky is a wild bird, tagged with a GPS transmitter. The two have been a couple for two years, but now they have managed to hatch two young birds, ornithologists say. According to them, this is the second such case in Europe.
The program to strengthen the population of the Egyptian vulture in this country began in 2018. To date, five of the released birds have reached sexual maturity and formed pairs in the wild.
