EGYPTIAN VULTURE . — - Neophron percnopterux. 
The Alpine, or Egyptian Vulture, lives in North Africa and Southern 
Europe. Sometimes it is called the White Crow, or Pharoah’s Chicken. It eats 
rats, mice, lizards, and other animals. The general colour of the adult bird is 
nearly white, with the exception of the quill feathers of the wing, which are dark 
brown. . The face, bill, and legs are bright yellow, so that the aspect of the bird 
is sufficiently curious. The sexes are clothed alike when adult.
