This is how it could look
Inspiring learning scene: juvenile Andean condor (brown-black plumage, not yet adult's white collar) at cliff edge, psyching up for first real solo flight. Enormous wings spread — nearly three-metre wingspan. Tentative hops to very edge. Expression: nervous, determined, terrified, excited all at once. Parent condors circling far below, watching patiently. Immense valley below. Strong visible wind. Moment before the leap of faith.
