Bearded Vulture - Blog Posts
okay final repost. now it's done
An acrylic painting of a bearded vulture i did a while back. It was my first attempt at painting a bird of any kind
The bearded vulture, otherwise known as a known as a Lammergeier in German, is a scavenger bird native to many mountainous areas in Europe and the Middle East. Its diet mainly consists of bone shards and marrow. As a status symbol, lammergeiers will seek out the reddest earth possible and apply it to their feathers to attract mates and intimidate foes. It got its name from Germans who believed unfounded lyrics that the bridge would carry off lambs and children to eat. This is of course unfounded.

My favourite bird of all time Amazine Artwork! They are found in the country where I live (in Western Europe) but they were hunted to extinction here because it was believed they stole livestock which is why they used to be referred to as Lammergeiers. Since then they’ve successfully been reintroduced into the country and their population is growing!
What I think it interesting is how they’re seen as evil in Europe but in the Middle East and Asia they are worshipped
Bird #67 - the Bearded Vulture (NT)
I dont even know what to say about them that people wouldn't already know. It's crazy that 70-90% of their diet is bone??? I always thought they were strictly Asian birds, but they are found in many areas in Africa and Europe too (though they are extinct in much of their historic range).
