Up in the Balkan Mountains, where the Vultures Back To LIFE<\/a> adaptation aviaries are, winter is in full swing. Despite the harsh condition, the project team still has work to do \u2013 sheep must be fed, and so do the vultures in the \u2018Sinite Kamani\u2019 Nature Park aviary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During winter, vultures high in the mountains face harsh conditions, and that means that conservationists who look after the species in the field have to be on-site frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vultures Back To LIFE team released Griffon and Cinereous Vultures in the region and established feeding sites there to provide safe and enough food to the birds released. During winter, they especially need to provide food at feeding sites to help them survive the harsh conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vultures at the acclimatisation aviaries also need to be fed on a regular basis. Further, the team needs to feed the flocks of sheep established to promote extensive animal husbandry practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
