Oregon Zoo Record Condor Hatch

(Portland, OR) -- The Oregon Zoo's California condor hatching program is celebrating a record-setting hatch. Officials say a total of 13 fluffy condor chicks are hopping in their nest boxes. The zoo has been hatching condors to help grow the species for 20 years. The chicks will spend at least eight months with their parents before moving to pre-release pens for about a year. They'll eventually be released in California or Arizona. In 1982, only 22 condors remained in the wild. Now there are 560.
