Every group has one; the well behaved, easy going one that doesn't ever really get themselves into situations that warrant a nickname. Plain Jane was that condor. She did very well in the flock, and tended to get along with everyone. She was rather large for a female condor, often weighing in over 20 pounds!
She was also a very clever condor and often eluded our attempts to trap her for routine handlings. Her intuition allowed her to slip out the trap in just enough time - clever girl!
