Rüppells Griffon Vulture
I visited Birdpark Avifauna today. They have an interesting collection of birds, but I feel they do need to upgrade the park and give the birds more space.
The Rüppells Griffon Vulture is a large vulture, almost about a meter high.

Vulture — So does D.V. render the Hebrew, אַיָּה ‘áyyah - Strongs: H344, Leviticus 11:14; Deuteronomy 14:13; Job 28:7. As has been suggested above, the text of Job at least, seems to allude to the kite rather than to the vulture. Several kinds of vultures are nevertheless referred to in the Bible; so, for instance, the bearded vulture (Gypœtus barbatus), called griffon in the D.V.; the griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), etc. In the biblical parlance vultures are often termed eagles.
