Andean condors don’t need to flap their wings often (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

Andean condors are the biggest flying birds in the world. They are excellent at soaring, being able to fly for a long time without needing to flap their wings. Condors have been recorded to fly more than 5 hours without flapping their wings once.

They're also quite cute imo! Very curious and seem like they'd be fun to work with

It would also feel wild given that a condor adult is about the same eye level as a human adult

Yep! They can be just over 4 feet tall. So it does depend on how tall you are and the angle, but for some adults they could very well be eye level with an Andean condor

so I guess "flappy bird" wasn't based on the Andean Condor
