Indian vultures are native to India, Pakistan, and Nepal. These are social birds that often stay in flocks. They are active during the day spending most of their time flying high over open areas looking for carcasses of dead aminals for their food. Indian vultures do not migrate but they may fly up to 100 km in a day when searching for food. They are generally silent, but when these vultures gather in groups around carcasses, they produce various grunts and hisses.
The Indian vulture has suffered a 97-99% population decrease due to poisoning caused by the veterinary drug diclofenac and has been listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2002.
