Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the fascinating aspects of the life of birds is their breeding phase, which is ultimately tied to the distribution and abundance of food resources in their environment. Breeding is one of the major components, which determine the specific contribution to its gene pool. Breeding is not only determined by gonadal activity but also by the availability of food resources, specific requirements for nesting and nest site. To understand the breeding behavior of vulture we searched for papers, review articles, thesis, Books, websites etc. In this review, we focus on the all behavioral events of breeding in vultures. For successful nesting there is the specific requirement of nesting is the selection of nest site, selection of comfortable nesting material and their arrangement in the nest to maintain the shape of the nest, egg laying, feeding to juvenile, parental care till fledgling fledge. Sometimes nest construction process delaying by Heavy rainfall, high wind speed, photoperiodic. Breeding is the necessary contribution of nature to prove their existence in the world. Now day’s impact of human disturbance, splitting of stone and cracks, cutting of mature trees, diclofenac, food unavailability, and predator are the crucial factors for the breeding of vultures. To solve this problem we need to establish artificial feeding stations, convert natural vulture habitat into protected areas, save the mature tree and tall tree, Develop various kinds of community awareness programs.
