They do not hunt in the parks.
In Piedmont, Regional Law no. 19/2009, article 8 states that "In protected areas established and classified as a natural park and nature reserve, the following prohibitions apply: a) hunting activities; b) introduction and use of weapons, explosives, and any destructive or capture means by individuals, unless nominatively authorized."
An extraordinary sighting of specimens of the Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) in the meadows between Avigliana and Borgone. These migratory birds are threatened with extinction and an international reintroduction project teaches young specimens the essential migration routes with the help of human adoptive parents flying on motorized hang gliders.

Il monitoraggio di un grande veleggiatore come il gipeto ha bisogno di una rete informativa di dimensione alpina che richiede la collaborazione di tutti i frequentatori della montagna. I giovani gipeti rilasciati sono provvisti di marcature alari (decolorazioni bianche delle penne delle ali) e anelli colorati alle zampe; per questo motivo sono molto utili per l'esatta identificazione dei singoli individui fotografie e video.
Progetto di monitoraggio dell’avifauna tramite la tecnica della cattura ed inanellamento a scopo scientifico
For years a population of rock sparrow has been nesting in the mowed and grazed meadows of the upper Susa Valley, in two Sites of the Natura 2000 network managed by the Parks of the Cottian Alps. It has colonized an area of about 13 square kilometers on the south-southwest slope in the municipalities of Sestriere and Cesana Torinese, between 1350 and 2000 meters above sea level. The territory is characterized by xeric pastures and mountain meadows that in recent decades have seen a drastic decrease in traditional agro-pastoral practices, with the consequent risk of invasion by shrubs and trees and loss of the high degree of plant and animal biodiversity linked to mowed and grazed meadows.
The rock partridge (Lagopus muta) is an alpine bird the size of a pigeon that lives at high altitudes, above trees and shrubs. Up there, at the border between high-altitude meadows and rocky areas, generally between 1800 and 2700 meters, going up beyond 3000 meters in summer and autumn.
It can reach 2.90 m wingspan and weigh 7 kg. These characteristics make it the largest bird in the Alpine region. Moreover, it is the only species among vultures capable of feeding on bones thanks to some morphological and behavioral adaptations. Its body structure places it in an intermediate position between a raptor and a vulture, after all, its name derives from the Greek terms gyps (vulture) and aetos (eagle).
The 2002 calendar of the Orsiera Rocciavré Natural Park and the Orridi di Chianocco and Foresto Reserves is dedicated to the birds of prey present in the protected areas.
The 2023 calendar of the Parks of the Cottian Alps is dedicated to birds.
Atlante sintetico dell'avifauna del Parco Naturale dei laghi di Avigliana con qualche cenno sulle abitudini di ogni specie e disegni in dettaglio che facilitano il riconoscimento.
Percorsi didattici autoguidati per il riconoscimento degli uccelli nei Parchi Naturali Orsiera-Rocciavrè e Rocca di Cavour.
Strumento semplificato che permette di curiosare sull'avifauna dei due Parchi, ma è valido anche in territori limitrofi con caratteristiche simili e permette di imparare a collegare quello che è riconoscibile con i cinque sensi ad altre informazioni che portano ad escludere o confermare l'identità dell'animale avvistato.
