About These Birds
African Cuckoo-hawk
The African Cuckoo-hawk weighs about 261g and inhabits sub-Saharan African forests. Despite its hawk shape, it feeds mainly on insects, lizards, and chameleons.
Bearded Vulture
The Bearded Vulture, or Lammergeier, is a spectacular high-mountain raptor found from the Pyrenees and Africa to Central and South Asia. Adults are orange-buff below, dark above, with a long diamond-shaped tail and striking beard of dark bristles below the bill. Uniquely, it feeds almost exclusively on bones, dropping them from height onto rocks to access the nutritious marrow.
