Cultured Vulture Cuddles With Savior Who Rescued Him as a Chick

Edgardo, a farmer from Loncopué, Argentina, has developed a unique friendship with a vulture he found earlier this year stranded in his backyard with a broken leg. The man named it Condorito, after a famous South American comic book hero, and spent months curing the bird before he released it in the wild.

However, the grateful condor kept a special place in his heart for Edgardo and pays visits to his human friend from time to time. One of these emotional reunions was caught on camera. In this video, the young vulture is seen walking towards Edgardo with its wings spread wide as though it wants a hug, before accepting a tickle and nestling its head into his former owner's neck.
