01:12 Fine old school, pipsqueak.
01:14 [Music]
01:15 Care should be taken to remove the egg during the mother's absence.

03:08 Sometimes storm clouds appear without a moment's notice.
03:13 [Music]
03:24 A great deal of urging is sometimes needed to get the young condor off the limb.
03:29 [Music]
03:32 [Muffled sounds]
03:49 But once the fledgling gets the feel of the wind in his wings, he comes in for his landing
03:55 with all the self-assurance of a veteran pilot.
