Day of the condors: Hungry birds of prey eye up terrified poodles just the other side of glass window in penthouse apartment in Chile
- Footage shows moment huge birds size up dogs inside South American city flat
- The puppies bark excitedly as their visitors prowl up and down outside window
- Condors are the world’s largest flying birds in combined weight and wingspan
This is the moment two hungry birds eye up a family of toy poodles as their prey outside a penthouse flat.
Footage shows a couple of huge condors perched outside a woman’s apartment in Chile, looking to feast on the three dogs on the other side of the glass.
The clip was widely shared by Spanish media which claims it took place near the Spanish stadium, in the metropolitan city of Las Condes.
In the 50-second footage, the puppies can be seen barking excitedly from inside the flat at the huge birds prowling outside.
The birds in turn seem equally interested in the dogs and, at one stage, one even tries to bite one of the animals.
Local media noted that the dogs remain safe as the windows were closed at the time.
The footage was posted on Tik-Tok by user Gabriela Leonardi and shows the impressive size of the two South American Andean Condors as they walk around the side of the apartment looking for a way to reach the poodles.
