    Comment by 'Guest' in media 'Abella Hide 1'

    thanks all for your comments, It has been a year long work to get them all there Stanley! Cohabitation of different species of vultures is not rare. There is always agressiveness among them but they all have a different behavior when eating so there are no big problems!! Carles
