A pair of Black Vultures  arrived at the  Sofia Zoo in support of the program for the return of the species to Bulgaria. The birds are donated from the Government  of Extremadura – the Kingdom of Spain. It is expected that their descendants will  join with the already released in the wild birds, who for the first time this year had offsprings in the wild nature of Bulgaria.
