The Bakersfield Condors decided it would be a good idea to have an actual condor on the ice before the game. Deadspin has video of the hilarity that ensued when the condor tried to escape.

This made my day
GET BACK HERE CONDOR!
Ah, the ECHL...
...making the scenes from "Slap Shot" seem like high society since 1988.
At first I thought this said
At first I thought this said Condom lol
Not me...
I processed it as "candor" on the first, superficial look. Either situation was a WTF, so it was sort of a "wash." I'm glad the players were smart enough to get out of the way.

There are actual comments from the handler under the video too - I guess he cracked four ribs on one of the attempts to retrieve the condor, so hopefully he recovers quickly.
Still, it was pretty funny to watch as the bird basically does its best "I'm out!" and heads straight for the locker room.

for stuff like this
Geez, what a bunch of ass holes
Stupid to bring a bird like that in there plus not having it properly tethered to the trainer. I only hope the poor bird wasn't hurt.

Agree.
This wasn't fucking funny at all, that bird has no business there. The idiots laughing about it are what I think is wrong with humanity. As the top species we're supposed to be better than that. As Michigan fans we're definitely supposed to be better than this video. That bird could have easily been killed and for what?
What if when the hatches finally open out of the UFOs come thousands of 100ft Native American Indians? We're going to be watching like "F%&# those are huge Indians! Please tell me they're not huge Indians."
Killed by what exactly??
Killed by what exactly?? That bird was in no danger what so ever in that arena. Way to overreact.
When the guy carrying it
When the guy carrying it falls and allegedly breaks his ribs he could have easily crushed the bird. Slipping on the ice it could have broken something which usually animals don't come back from like us. Hardly overreacting. That animal never should have been in that position.

Considering those birds
Considering those birds nearly went extinct being in an arena couldn't be any more dangerous for it than being in the wild. The chances of it being crushed would be about the same odds as someone getting hit by a bus.
I hope not
Those are terrible odds!
I feel for the bird, for sure
... but it's also funny as hell.
Gasp. Hold breath. Turn Blue!
I was sitting in the first
I was sitting in the first row at a bird show at Parrot Jungle Island in Miami when an Andean Condor flew down to the stage and hit me in the head. Knocked my hat right off. Rough way to become part of the show.

Pretty sure
that he's a spambot. that's his only post in a newly created account. he's been reported to the moderator action thread for them to investigate and delete him if he is indeed a spambot.
