Endangered California condors 'absolutely trash' woman's house, won't leave

Under normal circumstances, a person would welcome the opportunity to closely observe a group of California condors, North America’s largest flying land birds, which made a miraculous recovery after nearly becoming extinct in the 1980s.

But over the weekend, more than a dozen of the majestic birds descended on a woman’s home and “absolutely trashed her deck,” according to a tweet from the woman’s daughter, Twitter user Seana Lyn.

“They still haven’t left,” Seana Lyn tweeted Tuesday. “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.”

Seana Lyn also posted photos of the condors, all tagged with numbers that correspond with birds released in Southern California’s Kern County, along with the utter destruction of the deck.

“[My mom] does think this is pretty amazing but also the worst,” she wrote. “They keep hanging out on her roof and railings messing with stuff and pooping everywhere. Trees are fine but not in the house please.”

Intrigued Twitter users, along with an employee behind the U.S. Fish and Game Twitter account have weighed in, with at least four people making jokes about how the woman’s home should now be referred to as a “condorminium.”

A water pistol or a vuvuzela should do the trick. No harm. No fowl.
