The story of Bearded Vulture BG1055 - what is takes to breed chicks in captivity
Captive breeding plays an important role in the reintroduction or reinforcement of the European Bearded Vulture population in the wild. Breeding the species in captivity is not an easy or quick process, and it takes a lot of effort.
To breed Bearded Vulture chick BG1055, the Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF) started preparing for the breeding season months ago. First, the team had to prepare its future foster parent, Kajazo, who is actually a human imprinted male and mates with his human keeper. At the same time, the staff was also looking after the other breeding pairs of the centre, including Joseph (male) and M. Antoinette (female) who laid the clutch that became BG1055! The centre artificially incubates the eggs, and this involves taking a number of steps to aid the hatching process, including thermal shock, a protocol developed by the VCF. Once the chick hatched, it was taken care by the staff and monitored non stop until it was ready to be adopted by its foster parent. Watch the video and learn the fascinating story of what it took to breed this chick in captivity!
