Bayyanawa

Both condors are very large broad-winged soaring birds, the Andean condor being 3 inches (8 cm) to 6 in shorter (beak to tail) on average than the northern species, but heavier and larger in wingspan. The Andean condor has a wingspan of 274–310 centimetres (9 ft 0 in–10 ft 2 in) and even up to about 320 centimetres (10.5 ft) and a weight of 8–15 kg, with males ranging from to 11 to 15 kilograms (24 to 33 lb) and females 7.5 to 11 kilograms (17 to 24 lb). Meanwhile the California condor has a weight of 8–14 kg and wingspan of about 109 inches, or 2.69 meters. California condors are the largest flying land birds in North America. Among all living flying birds, the Andean condor is the third heaviest after the Kori bustard and great bustard (up to 21 kilograms (46 lb)), and second only to the wandering albatross (up to 3.5 metres (11 ft 6 in)) in wingspan. Measurements are usually taken from specimens reared in captivity.

Ba a manyanta ba California condor

The middle toe is greatly elongated, and the hinder one but slightly developed, while the talons of all the toes are comparatively straight and blunt. The feet are thus more adapted to walking as in their relatives the storks, and of little use as weapons or organs of prehension as in birds of prey and Old World vultures. The female, contrary to the usual rule among birds of prey, is smaller than the male.
