11. mixed feelings here

The imagery is uplifting, but it also means this condor has imprinted on one or more humans. That's going to hamper its ability to survive in the wild. It might approach someone more interested in shooting the bird than feeding it - and a surprising number of people would do just that.

Seeing such a magnificent creature interacting peaceably with a human awakens the child in us, and we are better off for it.
