Its feathers, bones and eyes are said to possess magical properties. The Andean Condor is the heaviest member of the order Ciconiiformes. They live on the coast of Peru and Argentina and in the Andes Mountains of South America. Due to their heavy bodies, the Andean Condors live where strong thermal air currents exist to assist them in staying aloft. Andean Condors are ready to breed at approximately five to six years of age.
