#vultureconservation

The fifth vulture of the series. Again, will be auctioned at the vulture conference with proceeds going to vulture conservation 💛 This Andean Condor is the only non European one I painted - just because I have been fascinated of them since I saw them in Peru in 2016. Sadly not in the wild, but in a wildlife rescue and breeding station. My couchsurfing hosts were working at the station and took me there for some days because they didn't have a vet. It was a bit chaotic (an orphaned baby spectacled bear was running around freely, scaring the alpacas 😂). But they were breeding and treating injured condors to release them back into the wild. Hopefully it will help this amazing species a bit as they already have the conservation status “near threatened“ at the moment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #andeancondor #condor #vulture #vultureconservation #animalart #contemporary_art #contemporaryartist #animalartwork #contempoaraywildlifeartist #animalartwork #animaldrawings  #natureart #creativeart #sketches #creativeprocess #doitfortheprocess #makearteveryday #animalart  #arts_gallery #art_realistic #animalartistry @artforplanet #artforplanet #artistsforfuture #watercolorleaves #waterblog #watercolorartist  #watercolor_daily #watercolor_gallery #watercolorplanet (hier: Cusco, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Gyqszooo0/?igshid=107du9ri1rsu7

Third vulture painting! 💛 This one (and 3 more) will be printed on T-Shirts and sold at the Vulture Conference in Portugal this October. The proceeds will also go to vulture conservation 🐦 . At the moment I'm preparing some small climate strike related illustrations to share with you later today. Will you be out to strike for a better future on Friday as well? 💪🌍❤ .

One of our staff members, Adam, has been hard at work training one of our resident black vultures, Tombstone, to paint! Tombstone is typically cautious towards new objects so it has taken about two weeks for Adam to train her up to this point. To train our vultures to paint, we first target train them by teaching them to gently touch the tennis ball end of one of our target sticks. By doing this, they get a food reward. We then train them to follow along with the target stick and have them step through the pan containing the non-toxic water based paint and then target them onto a canvas. The result is an awesome foot/talon-print painting that we can sell in our gift shop to raise money for vulture conservation! The one pictured is still a work in progress - Tombstone will be adding a few more colors to her artwork before it goes on sale.
