The second-ever Griffon Vulture chick to hatch at the Green Balkans’ Wildlife Rehabilitation and Breeding Centre<\/a> turned one month old! The large vultures breeding programme, including the Griffon Vultures and Cinereous Vultures in the Centre, is supported by the Vultures Back to LIFE<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hatching<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chick’s egg pipped on 7 April 2020, after 53 days of diligent incubation. With the help of its parent, the chick successfully hatched on the next day<\/a>. During the hatching, the parents were observing the process, and impatiently awaiting the arrival of their chick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking care of the one-month-old chick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The father, Belcho, has proven himself once again as a nurturing parent, taking care of the new chick just like he did when he was rearing Parvolet, the first chick to ever hatch at the centre, with his ex-partner Leshka in 2014. For the young mother Nadezhda, this is the first offspring, but she is a very caring mother, constantly taking care of her chick.\u00a0Here is the nurturing father feeding\u00a0his chick for eight minutes straight. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
