Preparing for release to the wild on Saturday, October 25th. Mōlī (1300) is one of seven new young condors, all approximately 1.5 years old, that arrived at the San Simeon Release Pen September 15. These magnificent birds were transferred from the LA Zoo and have settled into their new temporary home as some of the wild condors are popping by with curiosity and a warm welcome. The new group includes females: 'Alalā (1265), Nēnē (1289), Mōlī (1300), Bernie (1302), Palila (1307), Koloa (1312), and male, Huckleberry (1290).
Mōlī (MOH-lee) takes her name from the Hawaiian word for the Laysan Albatross — a fitting choice for the largest bird in the group. She was the first to burst from her carrier into the pen, showing her bold personality right away. Confident and assertive, Mōlī (1300) often takes the lead at feeding time, pushing others aside to make sure she gets her share.
Fun fact: Mōlī (1300), Huckleberry (1290), and Bernie (1302) were part of a triple brood--they grew up together! We’re thrilled to see them heading into the wild side by side and can’t wait to watch how they interact.
