Vultures all over the world

[Marbzy]

Scrambling further from the nest bowl, the chick waves his/her left wing:


Here the chick uses both his/her wings to avoid taking a tumble:


No, Mom, you won't get away from me so easily:

[Marbzy]

And so the chick scrambled its way back into the heart of the nest:


These adult vultures do know which way to turn:


Dad comes home again at 18:20:

[Marbzy]

Mom decides she can leave the chick to Dad:


El macho supplies a wet dessert:


There are a couple of pink chunks in the soup too:

[Marbzy]

It's been a fat day for the chick:


Dad and the chick heading into the night:


And then again the camera turns off with Dad standing over the little one:


Good night!

[Marbzy]

28 May

The day starts at 6:50:


Both vultures are up a quarter later:


The chick won't be fed until Mom comes home:

[Marbzy]

Mom arrives at 12:49:


Dad departs 20 seconds later:


Is a feast about to start?

[Marbzy]

The chick's instinct drives him/her towards Mom's beak:


Haven't the wings grown a bit or two?


Mom's reluctant to open the larder:

[Marbzy]

The chick keeps trying:


Again:


But Mom keeps the little one waiting:

[Marbzy]

There's no shortage of shade when Mom's around:


Dad returns at 15:52:


Mom leaves:

[Marbzy]

El macho offers some thin soup for starters:


Another helping:


The entree is hardly satisfactory:

[Marbzy]

A proper meal is served at 17:27:


Dad is struggling to regurgitate something solid:


He throws his head about violently a number of times:

[Marbzy]

Finally! An object resembling a bone comes out (the chick actually pulled it towards the ground, helping Dad release the thing):


Now the chick can have no complaints:


The whole meal takes over 20 minutes to complete:

[Marbzy]

This is a little unexpected though not untoward (from the chick's point of view) - Mom comes back at 19:12:


Dad is soon off:


And another long feeding follows:

[Marbzy]

The meal is still in progress 8 minutes later:


The day ends at 21:40:


Good night!

[Marbzy]

29 May

The stream's back live at 6:49:


The vultures get up a few minutes past 7:


No, there is no breakfast:

[Marbzy]

Back to bed:


The chick is looking for some shade:


Found it:

[Marbzy]

Dad comes home at 12:14:


Mom leaves:


Dad and the chick (the chick may have been fed by Dad, who has - however - been obstructing the view since his arrival):

[Marbzy]

Begging the cinereous way:


This can mean only one thing - lunch is on its way:


A display of the chick's wings, which have been growing fast in the last couple of days:

[Marbzy]

Mom comes back at 17:52:


Dad exits the scene in stages:


Two yawning vultures:

[Marbzy]

Mom, can I ask you something?


El macho comes home again at 18:57:


Mom watches Dad feeding the little buitre:
