The Himalayan Griffon Vulture is a typical vulture with a bald white head, very broad wings, and a short tail. Otherwise a silent bird, it lets out a peculiar grunt and hiss while roosting and preying. These birds usually fly in flocks and are a fragile link in the delicate ecological chain.by- Kuldeep Chauhan
