      You don't say. This is one of the rarest Indian Subcontinent vultures. To see one in Bucurest is interesting.

      From zootierliste I knew about this vulture before my visit , so I was ready to see it. As for today it's still the only zoo where I saw long-billed griffon vul
      ture.

      Its wing does not look right?

      Long-billed...

      Looks like an old wing injury, possibly why it came into captivity in the first place?

      Is it in a potential breeding situation? If it isn't, it really should be.

      I agree, it is a rare species and there is not reason why it couldn`t breed even with wing damage.

      I think this is white-rumped vulture, also, it is listed under white-rumped vulture on zootierliste. ZootierlisteHomepage
