“We examine the bird once a day. Today will be the first day we offer it food. It was necessary for the vulture to fast for a while to allow the toxins to clear from its system,” the rescue center noted.

Two days ago, the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds reported the discovery of two poisoned Egyptian vultures. One of them—a female fitted with a transmitter—had died. The cause, according to the organization, was the use of toxic bait in the Eastern Rhodopes.
