Condors are soaring birds. They do not hunt, and their over the ground speed is typically dependent on the local winds. Condors do not have well-developed flight muscles, and flap their wings only to take off and land, or on rare occasions when unable to find updrafts to ride.
Whether soaring or flapping, their speed tends to be around 14 - 15 meters/sec (31 - 33 mph). They are capable of streamlining their wings and attaining a somewhat higher speed under ideal conditions to cover more ground when enough altitude is available.
