The Griffon Vulture is a mountain dweller, but in the Alps only a summer guest. It breeds in inaccessible rock niches and is a colony breeder (that means, the sleeping place is also breeding place). The griffon vulture is sociable when eating and breeding and lives monogamous. At the age of 4 or 5 years the plumage has its final color. It reaches sexual maturity between the 4th and the 7th year of life. Although it can only take off with a starting, he flies very elegantly and almost without moving the wings through the air. The griffon vulture is quite quiet, only at the mating season it lets out croaky, grunting and whistling sounds.
