FfFfFfFF 58,119 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 More than 15 rare birds, whose population is at about 160 in the state, showed up at Cinda Mickol’s home – and they’ve made a mess. Giant California condors are rare – but not at Cinda Mickols’ home. More than 15 condors, an endangered bird whose population hovers at around 160 in the state and under 500 in the US, have recently taken a liking to Mickol’s house in Tehachapi – and they’ve made quite a mess. Quintero explained the birds had arrived on the weekend, and had taken a liking to her mom’s outdoor deck. “Checked in with mom, they’re still hanging out ominously on one of her trees but thankfully are not on the house at the moment,” Quintero wrote on Wednesday. “She’s reaching out to some condor groups to alert them so they can observe the birds and maybe help keep them off her house.” Quintero said the wealth of wildlife in the area is a large reason her mother moved there. “She is in awe of it while also being very annoyed,” Quintero added. “We’re just hoping they start sticking to the trees, she enjoys watching them out there.” Condors are an endangered species and one of the largest flying birds in the world. Their wingspan can spread almost 9 feet and they can weigh more than 20 pounds. In the 1970s, only a few dozen were left in the wild, according to the California Department for Fish and Wildlife. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/06/california-condors-endangered-birds-tehachapi, https://edition.cnn.com/2021/05/07/us/california-condors-invade-womans-yard-trnd/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
