A record 17 California condor chicks have hatched during this year’s breeding season for the endangered birds at the Los Angeles Zoo. Officials say Wednesday that all the chicks will be candidates for release into the wild as part of the California Condor Recovery Program.
All the chicks will be candidates for release into the wild as part of the California Condor Recovery Program, the LA Zoo said in a statement.
“Our condor team has raised the bar once again in the collaborative effort to save America’s largest flying bird from extinction,” Rose Legato, the zoo’s Curator of Birds, said in the statement. “The result is more condor chicks in the program and ultimately more condors in the wild,” Legato said.
