=== Breeding === New World vultures and condors do not build nests, but lay eggs on bare surfaces. On average one to three eggs are laid, depending on the species.<ref name="Zim:2001" /> Chicks are naked on hatching and later grow [[down feather|down]]. Like most birds, the parents feed the young by [[Regurgitation (digestion)|regurgitation]].<ref name="Terres:1991-p957" /> The young are [[altricial]], fledging in 2 to 3 months.<ref name="Howell-and-Webb:1995" /> California Condor chicks fledge anywhere from 5β6 months, while Andean condor chicks fledge anywhere from 6β10 months.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Andean Condor {{!}} The Peregrine Fund|url=https://peregrinefund.org/explore-raptors-species/vultures/andean-condor|access-date=2020-09-29|website=peregrinefund.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Gymnogyps californianus|url=https://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/animals/bird/gyca/all.html|access-date=2020-09-29|website=www.fs.fed.us}}</ref>
