"The Andean condor is a national symbol of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru ..."

Seems that the list of countries that have the Andean condor as their national symbol is correct except for Argentina and Peru. Neither Argentina's nor Peru's flag, coat of arms nor national bird include the Andean condor: see

National symbols of Argentina

National symbols of Peru.

National bird of Argentina is the rufous hornero and for Peru is the Andean cock-of-the-rock.

I suggest eliminating mention of both Argentina and Peru.--Daven brown (talk) 19:14, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My webpage link on the Wikipedia site as an External link for Andean condor was removed as it was determined to serve as a promotion of my own work, and however I felt that it would be in the interest of Wikipedia to have it there, I abide by the act. I want to know if I would be in violation of the same terms if I posted the information on this Wikipedia page, Talk:Andean_condor?

I had edited this page on its population and status, and now I am finding that there is a different figure for its overall population. I want to clarify the confusion. The estimate is now believed to be 10,000, which is what I wrote on this page. However, some websites give that figure as 6,700, which is actually the number of mature condors out of the total population itself; the writers behind this information have construed the lesser figure as the total, which is in error. See this link, under "Population in detail." https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/22697641/181325230 db-user db-user (talk) 18:38, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
