Hyderabad Zoo Prepares Vultures for Breeding Season
Imagine a special zoo where they are trying to help some special birds called vultures have babies.
They brought in ten new vultures and made sure they were healthy.
These vultures are now getting ready for their baby-making season, which is like a special time of year for them.
The zoo built new places for them to sit and make nests.
The zoo workers are making sure the birds are eating well, with goat meat and fresh water, and keeping them healthy with check-ups.
The goal is to help these vultures grow in numbers and keep them safe, so people can't see them in the zoo, because they are busy with making babies.
Ten long-billed vultures have completed quarantine at Nehru Zoological Park.
The vultures are being prepared for the breeding season, which starts in October.
New perches and nest baskets are being installed in the main breeding enclosure.
The vultures are in good health and are feeding well on goat meat.
The focus is on breeding and conservation, and the vultures are not on public display.
