For a long time, I could not remember the name of this bird. Searches in Google did not help me. As a result, I began to search on the sites of zoos and found this bird on the site of Vienna Zoo, so in German The Egyptian vulture is written as "Schmutzgeier").
The photo, of course, is made through a cage:

The bird is endangered.
The fact that they eat carrion, you probably know. These birds are known for using tools to get food. It sounds cool, but in fact, they love ostrich eggs and to break a thick shell, they throw a stone at the egg over and over. If the stone does not break, The Egyptian vultures bring a stone more heavily.
