"long-billed-vultures"

The Nehru Zoological Park will shortly commence breeding of three species of critically endangered vultures in its specialised breeding centre

The long-billed vultures, which were earlier staying at Palarapu Guttalu at the confluence of Peddavagu and Pranahita have migrated to a vulture sanctuary in Maharashtra in search of food

The return of the scavenger birds was a welcoming sign as December was a breeding season which result in increasing of their population, say officials.
