DESCRIPTION FEED REPRODUCTION HABITAT POPULATION PROBLEM MULTIMEDIA WHERE TO SEE IT? SPECIMEN TRACKING   Feed ones form the basis of their diet, it being the only “osteophage” (bone-eater) bird on the planet, calculating that it needs between 250 and 500 grams of bones each day.     Its common name in Spanish (Quebrantahuesos” (bone-breaker) comes from the particular technique it has to consume its food.    This technique consists in breaking up the large bones, which it cannot eat, into smaller pieces which are easier to consume. These are thrown into the air in rocky areas which we call “breakers”.   The gaze of the bearded vulture                           Extensive stockbreeding   Chamois fallen off the cliff   Young marked bearded vulture   Bearded vulture cracking bones   BONE-BREAKING TECHNIQUE   © Prohibida la reproducción total o parcial de los contenidos de esta Web sin autorización de los autores.
