Talk:Eurasian griffon vulture

message: This may be a useful tidbit of information, though since it conflicts with part of the article I'm not sure how to integrate it: "only remaining colony of griffon vultures is on [Akrotiri] base."  66.27.233.203 16:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there a good reason for including Rüppell's Vulture in this article?  It has an article of its own, which includes everything mentioned here.  My feeling is that the most we might need here is a link to the other species – or if this bit is relevant to all Griffon-type vultures it could go in Gyps.--Richard New Forest 11:23, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Rüppell's Vulture

message: I have seen mention of this species as a possible former inhabitant of Britain.  Is there any evidence for this, such as archaeological finds or ancient records?  Apparently there were Old English names for vulture, though this does not of course prove they did occur in Britain at that time (see this very interesting page:  – also ).--Richard New Forest 11:23, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is at least an accidental in the British Isles, as one was captured on the ground near Cork Harbor in Ireland in 1843..  However, the source you point out mentions the scriptural references, and given their extent (though commonly mistranslated), it is quite plausible that the scriptural references could be the source of the word, or they could have been known in the areas from which the Anglo-Saxons migrated to England.  I've not stumbled across any such data in starting to research for writing an article to replace the existing mass of bullet points.  GRBerry 20:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I feel the lead image could be improved because the head is not clear against the wing, and the mountain in the background is rather distracting.  I've just realised that these problems almost dissapear when the image is enlarged. Alternatives could be -

message: I would like to develop a physiology section of this article. 
I am currently examining the physiology of flight in the Griffon vulture, using this source: "Duriez, Olivier, et al. "How Cheap Is Soaring Flight In Raptors? A Preliminary Investigation In Freely-Flying Vultures." Plos ONE 9.1 (2014): 1-8. Academic Search Premier. Web. 3 Mar. 2016." EvinYZhao (talk) 19:57, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Physiology of Vultures 

message: For my draft on the Griffon Vulture page I added a physiology section and added a little to the intraspecific competition section. I would like peer advice as to what to do with the mass of bullet points that is the status in eurasia.  Thanks, EvinYZhao (talk) 23:51, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Why does it pose a problem or show a problem when the vulture had eaten the corpse? It didn't kill the lady! --46.40.244.77 (talk) 15:10, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
