In this case, for example, the team had to return to the site the day after the release because monitoring showed that a fox had entered the cave. This was of course concerning but luckily nothing bad happened \u2013\u00a0the fox had taken all the food but didn\u2019t harm the birds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that was not the only trouble that these rebellious little chicks got themselves into. Just seven days after its release at the age of 107 days, \u201cRed Eye\u201d already took its first flight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight was unexpectedly early, as they are typically expected to adapt to their natural surroundings for 20-30 days post-release, before taking their first flight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intervening&nbsp;to save the young, inexperienced vulture &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of the very early flight and the expected stormy weather alarmed the monitoring team, prompting them to pay extra attention to the bird, especially regarding food access. At this age, birds typically do not use roosting places protected from bad weather, creating a risk that they might get wet and be unable to fly to the feeding sites. Therefore, the team intensified monitoring to check on the bird&#8217;s status, so if its feathers became wet, they would place food in the surrounding area, accessible on foot, until the situation stabilized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with rain and storms forecasted for the next ten days, the situation remained precarious. Even with occasional sunny moments, it would likely be difficult for the bird to continue flying and feeding serenely. When the team placed food near the bird due to the weather, the observations revealed that foxes, ravens, and Griffon Vultures quickly consumed most of the food soon after daylight broke, leaving little for it to eat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given these challenges, the LIFE Gyp\u2019Act team decided to intervene by placing more food the next day, and if possible, they would also attempt to catch the bird. When they arrived, the bird made a short flight of 2-3 meters and landed in some bushes. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the team promptly transported it back to the hacking site and provided ample food, where it ate a lot,&nbsp;ensuring its survival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The monitoring team will continue to closely watch the chicks and is dedicated to minimizing potential risks, ready to intervene quickly until the young vultures are more capable of taking care of themselves.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Within the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/life-gypact-project-restoring-the-bearded-vulture-metapopulation-between-the-alps-and-the-pyrenees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LIFE Gyp&#8217;Act project<\/strong><\/a><strong>, this was the beginning of many other releases that will be happening throughout the next few months \u2013 we hope the released birds will live for a long time and settle in the region over the coming years!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LIFE Gyp&#8217;Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-768x233.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-18x5.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>LIFE Gyp\u2019Act is a 13M\u20ac project, co-funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/easme\/en\/life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EU\u2019s LIFE programme,<\/a> that will run until 30 November 2028.
