California condors are dumber than rocks. You won’t believe how many of them kill themselves by drinking antifreeze, or landing on power lines, or (for all we know) flying straight into the ground. A geologist/paleontologist friend of mine says there is a reason they are nearly extinct, and the reason is obvious...
I forgot to mention (having lived in Kalifornia, including Ventura County, for too d@mn long) that the ‘dumber-than-a-bag-of-hammers’ endangered condors are actually smarter than your average Kalifornia voter...
HAHA! I was watching an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies and some bird-brain was trying to "save the condors" even way back then. If these enviro-wackos have been making a concerted effort for 3 or 4 decades to save them; They would almost have to be dumb as rocks. Here, we call them buzzards, they are plentiful and I wouldn't describe them as smart. So these California buzzards must really be doorknobs.
