One of the center's highlights is its Andean condors.The ICBP is one of the few places in the world that have successfully bred these majestic birds, one of the world's largest flying birds and known to be endangered in its native South America. One of the most popular of ICBP's birds is Moccas, a one-year-old Andean condor (she even has her wn). She can often be seen with ICBP staff members Holly Cale and Adam Crisford, who share a unique bond with the bird.
