The team took the vulture to a centre that specialises in rescuing birds of prey where it was tested, revealing the bad news. The radiography showed old bullets and an ingested unknown metallic piece. The experts determined that the vulture was suffering from acute lead poisoning, due to the metallic item found in its gizzard. A veterinarian will now operate it to remove the metallic item and help nurse it back to health. We will track the Griffon Vulture\u2019s progress and hopefully update this post with positive news about the state of the bird.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Griffon Vulture\u2019s story<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6099 gallery-columns-5 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gallery_246.jpg'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1472\" height=\"981\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gallery_246.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gallery_246.jpg 1472w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gallery_246-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gallery_246-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/gallery_246-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1472px) 100vw, 1472px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-128x128-1.png'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1-128x128-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-128x128-1.png'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-128x128-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-128x128-1.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-128x128-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4-128x128-1.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4-128x128-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The Griffon Vulture was born in captivity in an aviary in Northeast Italy as part of a reintroduction programme lead by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.riservacornino.it\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Regional Nature Reserve of Cornino Lake<\/a>. The vulture was tagged with a GPS transmitter and was then released at the reserve in 2015. The bird began travelling immediately, moving from Cornino to Bergamo just a few days after it was released. There it lost the GPS tag, but some of its movements were still tracked in the future by its ring. The next observation was in Corsica, two months after the initial release, where it seemed to be tired, so it captured and examined. After a few days, the bird was healthy again and was released at Col de Bigornu (Lentu) where it flew very well. In the next few years, the bird survived long periods in unknown locations, probably alone. In 2016, the Griffon Vulture was spotted in Lozzi at the feeding site of <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/2016\/05\/04\/cimatella-and-muntagnolu-two-young-bearded-vultures-released-yesterday-in-corsica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two released Bearded Vultures<\/a>. Cimatella and Muntagnolu are still alive and were the first Bearded Vultures we released in Corsica\u00a0as part of a reinforcement project we are involved in. The Griffon Vulture\u00a0was also observed in Corsica and Raven Roots alongside two Bearded Vultures that were released in 2017. The bird was next seen this April where it appeared weak, as it was suffering from lead poisoning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lead poisoning is an overlooked threat to Vultures<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>(c) Bruno Berthemy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lead exposure, primarily through ingestion of lead ammunition, poses a severe threat to vultures, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0048969718344516?via%3Dihub#f0025%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">research<\/a>. Just like in the case of this Griffon Vulture, ammunition used by game hunters can severely poison vultures and is a threat that is often overlooked. Often, hunters who kill animals leave their carcasses behind and vultures feeding on them ingest lead fragments from the bullets, causing health problems. These problems can vary, from inhibiting proper metabolic functions to having adverse effects on the nervous system. Acute poisoning, just like in this case, can result in weakness, inhibited movement, paralysis, hindered respiration, behavioural abnormalities, weight loss, immune system disruptions and bone mineralisation. In severe cases, it might also lead to death. However, the research is still relatively recent, and the article calls for further exploration:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cThere is an urgent need to evaluate the effect of this contaminant on vulture demography, since some species may be undergoing important reductions on their populations due to this threat. A silent threat such as lead may produce long-term population decreases that are difficult to detect or reverse and thus, merits special attention.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>We here at the Vulture Conservation Foundation are committed to <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/research-into-the-lead-contamination-of-wild-vultures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protecting vultures from lead poisoning<\/a>.
