California Condor
The California condor. It is endangered by being killed or poisen. They have been over 100 released in one part of California.
The California condor is gymnogyps californianus.A large ,very rare vulture,with a wingspan up to nine feet.Recently reintroduced into the wild in California and Arizona.Other condors are being bred in captivity for future release,to augment the current population of wild condors.
A condor is a type of bird known as a vulture. Condors are the largest flying birds in the western hemisphere.
Yes, the ostrich is larger.
(different user) my research has found a bird larger than a condor.... and an ostrich... and that animal is the Titanis Walleri. This bird is now extinct so technically if it was based on animals in the 21st century then it would be the ostrich
The Andean Condor lives in the Andes in south America, whilst the Californian Condor lives in coastal mountains on the western seaboard of the USA
The pesticides caused the eggs to be so fragile that when the mother tried to incubinate them the eggs breaks now the pesticide is illegal to protect the condors.
California Condors Habitat is big Cliffs. That's how its Predators can't get the eggs so easy. :)
An Andean Condor is the world's largest bird of prey. It has huge wings, but it's size means it prefers to take off by leaping from a height and gliding on updrafts.
The condor is a large, black and white member of the vulture family. The juveniles have a dark head, while the older birds have a pink head. They have a 9 1/2 foot wing span. They are scavengers, so they eat already dead meat.

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.
Andean Condors eat dead animals as they do not kill animals. They are a carnivore.
Because there were only 22 of the birds left in 1981. There were no wild birds left, all were in captivity. Breeding was slow but the bird came to total 223 by August 2003. There were 138 birds held in captivity and the rest were released in the wild to try and reproduce. The birds need to be 6 years old before they can successfully breed. By January 2006 there was 127 birds in the wild. This species is still in critical condition, but their numbers are very slowly raising.
