In recent years there have been reports of killings of the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) throughout the Andean Region. ... Conservationists and subsistence farmers recognize that carrion is an important part of the condor's diet.

Do condors kill?

California condors are scavengers: they do not kill their own food, but consume dead animal carcasses. Indeed, condors do not have long talons capable of killing and grasping prey; they do, however, have a long, sharp beak to tear meat from carcasses.

Do condors attack?

They have never been known to attack a living animal. Condors require approximately 0.91 kg (2 pounds) of food a day, but after gorging, they can quickly convert food into fat and can go for days without eating. They gorge themselves again when another carcass is found.
