The youngsters, when able to fly, will be released within a few weeks in the first phase of a new project to restore this species to north eastern Israel, where it was wiped out by humans almost 50 years ago.
Mr. Yariv Pozner, Orian's deputy director general for marketing and sales, said following the successful delivery of the birds that Orian is dedicated for the protection of the environment and will continue to serve the community in a wide range of services.
