Hooded Vulture Video Stock Footage

The hooded vulture is a typical vulture, with a head that is usually white, but flushes red when agitated, and a greyish "hood". It has fairly uniform dark brown body plumage. It has broad wings for soaring and short tail feathers. It is a small species compared to most vultures. Females of the hooded variety are also often seen to have longer eyelashes than the males. They have strong feet and are monogamous creatures. It breeds in a stick nest in trees (often palms) in much of Africa south of the Sahara, laying one egg. Birds may form loose colonies. The population is mostly resident. This is one of the smaller vultures of the Old World. They are 62–72 cm (24–28 in) long, have a wingspan of 155–165 cm (61–65 in) and a body weight of 1.5–2.6 kg (3.3–5.7 lb). Learn more about Hooded Vulture
