There was a time in Mount Abu when the Long-billed Vulture/ Indian Vulture was resident in this place so were the Egyptian Vulture till the early late seventies, these species used to breed here. The Indian White-backed Vulture/ White-rumped Vulture was also a common sight. Today, to see a vulture in Abu is a great elation for birders of this region. The Himalayan Griffon is seen once in a way flying over.
