Observation of vultures during feeding
The price for one feeding of vultures, regardless of the number of people in the group is 200 BGN.
We will provide food for the vultures and ornithologist guide, who will take you to the observation place and accompany you in this adventure. You have to reach at about 9:00 a.m. on that day the village Potochnitsa, close to the wall of the lake Studen kladenets, in the direction of Krumovgrad. There our guide will explain how to conduct yourself during the observation so to avoid disturbing the birds. This is important so that you are able to see them. Together with the guide you will continue to the village of Potocharka, and from there for about 20 minutes you will reach the place of observation near the reserve “Valchi Dol”.
The observation of the vultures during feeding in their “restaurant” is an unforgettable attraction. Sometimes at the vulture feeding place could gather more than a hundred birds, which rush to eat the main course. We observe them with a telescope and binoculars from a distance of about 400 m. Of course the hungriest birds are the first, but the rest are not waiting for long to join. For about 30 minutes we understand why these birds are cleaners of the Nature. They clean their dining table to a “full brilliance.” For about two hours we are able to get to know the habits of vultures at mealtimes and what it means to be on the top of the food chain. Of course, sometimes it happens that birds want to leave the food for later, but they still hang around their “restaurant”.
MAKE YOUR PROGRAM ALONE
The observation of the vultures during feeding, can be beautifully combined with search for minerals near Studen Kladenes, observation of other birds, amphibians and reptiles, observation of wild tarpan horses, visiting historic sites or kayaking on the lake Studen kladenes.
We wish you an unforgettable adventure!
What Buzzards Won’t Eat Like a whole lot of other old wives’ tales that seem to contain at least a modicum of truth, I’ve always believed that the only dead critter a buzzard wouldn’t eat is a skunk.

Jan 11, 2016 Vultures watch each other obsessively and take cues from each other. If one eats at a carcass with a camera, then others pluck up the courage to.
About a century ago in Bulgaria occured four vulture species – Griffon, Cinereus, Egyptian and Bearded Vultures. Today the Bearded Vulture has become extinct from the Nature of Bulgaria, while the has completely disappeared the Bearded vulture, and the Cinereus Vultures is extinct as a breeding species. A small part of the breeding colony of Griffon and Egyptian vultures has survived in the Eastern Rhodopes, near Madzharovo and Studen Kladenets reservoir. The main reason for their disappearance and decline is the use in the past of poisoned baits aimed at reducing the number of wolves. In the 1980s as a measure to restore the population of griffon vultures / numbering only few couples in the area of Madzharovo and Studen kladenets / group keen conservationists and Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds began their artificial feeding. Today the pairs of griffon vultures are 102 and their regular feeding continues THANKS TO YOU.

The Disappearance of the Vultures
In 1989, India was over-run by rotting flesh, plagues of flies, and rabid dogs – all because they lost some birds. As many as 44 million vultures, 99 percent of several species, had disappeared across Asia almost overnight — and no one knew why. It was a complete mystery.
Historical vulture populationsGoutam Narayan/RSPB
India used to have very large vulture populations and it is important to understand why and how this fits with Indian culture. Vultures are birds of prey that live in communities and human environments and are very dependent on human activities. 80 percent of the Indian population is Hindu, and as a culture, Hinduism is particularly favorable to vultures.
Hindus do not eat cows, which they consider sacred. Cows are used, however, for milk products and as beasts of burden. When a cow dies, it is not eaten by humans, but by vultures. Of the estimated 500 million head of cattle in India, only 4 percent are destined for consumption by humans as meat.

Up to 15,000 vultures have been observed at the carcass depositories of New Delhi. In the 1990s, scientists and naturalists began noticing a decrease in the number of vultures in the skies over India. As this decline accelerated, they and others in the international scientific community looked to find the reason.

The loss of these birds had several unexpected results:

- As carcasses once eaten by vultures now rotted in village fields, drinking water became seriously contaminated.
- The disappearance of vultures has allowed other species, such as rats and wild dogs, to take their place. These newly abundant scavengers, however, are not as efficient as vultures. While a vulture's metabolism is in fact a true 'dead-end' for pathogens, dogs and rats instead become carriers of the pathogens and therefore spread diseases throughout human populations such as rabies, anthrax and plague.
- Today in India, 30,000 people die from rabies each year, more than half the world's total. A person is bitten every 2 seconds, and one dies from rabies every 30 minutes. India today has an estimated 18 million wild dogs, the largest population of carnivores in the world.
