Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) is a relatively small black-and-white vulture. It has a bright yellow face, a distinctive wedge-shaped white tail, black flight feathers, and a slender bill. It grows up to 66 cm in length. The bird has a remarkable habit of using tools to break eggs.
The vulture is commonly seen in deserts, semi-deserts and more arid savannahs.
The bird feeds on carrion and eggs of other birds. It nests on cliffs and buildings (never in trees). Usually the bird lays 1-3 eggs.
This bird is found in open country near human habitation in north-central India.
