ICYMI: Take an inside look at the decades-long effort to save the California condor! By 1982, only 22 California condors survived in the wild. As of last year, thanks to countless partners teaming up for a breeding program, there were nearly 350 of North America’s largest birds in the wild. At The Peregrine Fund’s World Center for Birds of Prey outside Boise, Idaho, partners have raised more than 300 California condors. Meet a propagation manager, watch full video clips, and learn more about the

Condors naturally only raise one chick at a time, and #1099 and #1100 are part of what is known as a “double brood.“ L.A. Zoo condor keepers developed this technique of raising two chicks of similar age together by carefully introducing adult condor pairs to raisin

He was so enthusiastic that she ran out of room and had to fly off, with him in hot pursuit. Now that the chick has fledged, the cam has shut down for the season, but we hope to feature more condor beauty in the co
