For the first time in the United States, biologists have used a flu vaccine designed specially to protect the endangered California condor.

Wildlife officials say antibodies found in early results of a new vaccine trial are expected to give endangered California condors at least partial protection from the deadliest strain of avian influenza in U.S. history.

Park officials say the curious condors often eat the keys thrown into the canyon from the "love locks," which can lead to an obstruction and even death.

Environmental advocates this week urged the federal government to expedite approvals for a vaccine, warning that the avian flu strain — which has already killed at least 17% of the Arizona-Utah condor flock — is “jeopardizing the existence” of the iconic bird.
