Thank you.
I agree vultures are one of the most maligned birds but I also like them and they play a vital role in the ecosystem.
Sadly all but 1 species of vultures of South Africa are endangered or critically endangered mainly due traditional medicine and witchcraft, but also poachers poisoning carcasses to hide their tracks and power line pylons.
