Feb 19 Safari Park - Predatory Birds




The first image shows that we each had a map of the safari park.




 
This was important because Ann didn't want to walk up the Condor ridge and I did. So we decided where to meet (it was the place I got the 32 ounce beer - note the previous image).




 

One of the things they had on condor ridge was an area where injured birds are kept and cared for.  


The second image shows some sort of hawk.






The third image shows an eagle. The sign indicates that the bird is injured and can't fly.


 



   
Apparently, this bird actually had multiple injuries.





The fourth and fifth image has a injured condor. This bird is a predator but also eats dead creatures.










The final image (from the internet) is of a vulture.





The vultures are not up on the ridge. Instead they are in the valley near the giraffes, elephants and lions. 


The vulture is almost entirely a dead creature eater - as the guide told us on the safari tram, "its a tough job but someone has to do it".
