The bearded vulture, otherwise known as a known as a Lammergeier in German, is a scavenger bird native to many mountainous areas in Europe and the Middle East. Its diet mainly consists of bone shards and marrow. As a status symbol, lammergeiers will seek out the reddest earth possible and apply it to their feathers to attract mates and intimidate foes. It got its name from Germans who believed unfounded lyrics that the bridge would carry off lambs and children to eat. This is of course unfounded.
