Bearded Vulture, the bearded vulture died out in the Austrian Alps 
some 100 years ago. Since 1986, attempts have been undertaken to 
resettle the birds in the Hohe Tauern Mountains. Before they become 
full-fledged, young birds are put into manmade aeries and fed for some 
time, so that they can get used to their new home. 19 bearded vultures 
had been released by 1993. Bearded vultures live above the timberline 
and feed mainly on carrion and particularly bones.
