The California condor is very social with its own kind. They roost, and feed together, although they do have a pecking order, with the most dominant birds feeding first.

Do condors exist?
Yes. Several years ago the California condor went extinct in the wild, but as a result of efforts by conservationists there are now about 200 in the wild.
What does the California condor eat?
California condors are carrion feeders so they prefer to eat dead or decomposing corpses that other animals have killed. Some animals would include cows, bison, or deer.
How many offsprings does the California condor have?
about 157 are left
How many babies can California condors have?
A California condor has a single chick, every other year, between February and March. However if the chick is lost, they will lay another single egg.
How do condors adapt to their habitat?
Andean Condors eat dead animals as they do not kill animals. They are a carnivore.
How many condors are left in the wild?
In November 2008, there were 327 California ondors known to be living, including over half of them in the wild. In 2005, there were estimated to be 180 Andean Condors (the only other living condor species) in Columbia, and some what fewer in the surrounding countries.
How often can a female condor produce offspring?
She usually lays only one egg every other year because the young condor requires care for over a year. Condors don't breed until they are 6-8 years old.
Why shouldn't you save the condor?
We are all free to decide how important we believe condors (or any other species) are to us. On the one hand, if condors become extinct, all future generations will be deprived of condors (unless at some future date scientists are able to recreate extinct species through some form of genetic engineering). On the other hand, will future generations care about the lack of condors? Do condors serve any important purpose for human beings or for any ecosystem? They are majestic birds, but again, that may or may not matter to you.
What can be done to help protect condors from becoming extinct?
You can donate money to animal funds, such as WWF. You could also raise awareness. Don't forget to do small things such as lemonade stands, garage sales, etc. to get the money to donate and raise awareness at the same time. There are a million other things you could do also.
What does a Andean Condor eat?
The Andean condor feeds mostly on carrion. Inland Andean condors feed mainly on large carcasses, such as llamas, alpacas, rheas, guanacos, armadillos, wild boars, rabbits, foxes, and red deer. They do eat large live animals though, such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and dogs. On the other hand, coastal Andean condors feed on carcasses of animals that die on the beach, particularly cetaceans. Both inland and coastal Andean condors can feed on small live animals though such as rodents, birds, and rabbits.
Who would in a fight an adult California Condor or a Great Horned Owl?
These probably would never fight.To begin with,a condor is a vulture,and would not pick fights with other birds.Then,a horned owl would not attack a animal so large as a condor.To give an honest answer,if the owl attacked from above, got his killing talons locked on a vital spot,the condor would die.
