Our list of ugly birds is sure to be incomplete without mentioning the weird-looking Andean condor (Vultur gryphus).
Commonly found in the Andes mountain ranges of South America, these giant vultures are among the largest flying birds in the world.
They have a wingspan of over 10 feet – the largest among all birds of prey globally. They are usually black in color with white ruffles on their necks.
Their necks and heads are almost featherless. Males have a dark reddish comb on the head and wattles on the neck, thus making them appear rather ugly. These birds may live over 70 years in the wild.
