In this impressive live moment, a griffon vulture nestling opens its wings wide inside the nest 🦅. This stretching behavior is an important part of development, helping the chick build muscle strength and coordination. As the nestling grows, these movements become more frequent and more powerful.

What does this mean? (Quick science note)
Wing stretching is a key pre-fledging behavior. It strengthens flight muscles and prepares the young vulture for eventual takeoff and independence.

This video is meant to document the lives of wild animals so that we can learn more for both educational & research purposes and serve as an aid for the species conservation effort. We do not set up/ stage or intervene but only document the lives of wild animals.
