Andean condor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYDrQqJVZMc The largest flying bird in the world - the condor - nests on the inaccessible cliffs of the Andes, up to 5,000 meters high. When this magnificent vulture, weighing about fifteen kilograms, spreads its wings, their width reaches almost three and a half meters. Upright, while resting, he is even a meter tall. The Heights of the Andes are the perfect home for this colossus bird. It is easiest to take off from steep rocks: it is enough to just jump, stretch your wings and let the air flow. Searching for food, he is able to sail the sky for hours. Charles Darwin also noticed that he enjoyed watching the condor's flight for half an hour, and he never saw a bird flutter its wings.
