California Condors Gathered on a Woman's Deck and Made a Real Mess
California condors are an endangered species. There are only about 200 alive right now. When one is born in the wild, it's worthy of a news story. Presumably, the other condors heard the good news, which is why a little more than a dozen of them got together to celebrate. Unfortunately for one California woman, the party was on her deck.
Over the weekend ~15 California condors descended on my moms house and absolutely trashed her deck. They still haven’t left. It sucks but also this is unheard of, there’s only 160 of these birds flying free in the state and a flock of them decided to start a war with my mom ? pic.twitter.com/bZyHsN58Bk

That's quite a mess. According to the Twitter user, her mom shooed the birds away and last we heard, they are hanging out in a nearby tree. Possibly waiting for more snacks to be put out.
Checked in with mom, they’re still hanging out ominously on one of her trees but thankfully are not on the house at the moment. She’s reaching out to some condor groups to alert them so they can observe the birds and maybe help keep them off her house

Compared to the bear in the hot tub, California condors are obviously not as chill, but because they're endangered we have to look the other way and just let them ruin patio furniture with impunity.
BTW to everyone thats reached out with advice for who for my mom to contact thank you! And to the reporters thank you as well Im sorry Im slow to respond but I have a full time job and sadly that job is not PR for the birds so I will get back to you when Im done with work :)

Or maybe people just love condors.
