Baseline data of hematological values can be useful to compare with data of sampled Cinereous Vultures in the wild or received at rehabilitation centers (451 Villegas, A., J. M. Sánchez, E. Costillo, and C. Corbacho (2002). Blood chemistry and haematocrit of the black vulture (Aegypius monachus). Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A 132(2):489–497. Close , 452 Seok, S. H., D.

Cut, peeling, and scrape marks on bird wings made by Neandertals at Fumane Cave (44 ky B.P., Italy), indicates the intentional removal of feathers in several species, including the Cinereous Vulture (454 Peresani, M., I.
