The Condor

How can I grab the bird? It seems nearly impossible.

It is not all that difficult.  When entering the screen for the condor, try moving to about the middle of the screen and be ready with the hand icon when the condor swoops down.  It may take a try or two, but is not all that hard as you will find out.

Look very carefully at the ground. There is a little red 'X' on the ground where you need to be standing. It's very faint, and on some monitors, you have to turn up the brightness to see it.

Well that one is new to me.  All I did when I had played the game was what I had said in my previous post.  Tricks of the trade I take it or am I just somewhat blind (don't answer that)?  Well Rakshasa^, you may want to heed what Navy has said, it may make things a whole lot more easier.

this was probably the hardest part of the game for me - I hadn't noticed the X before, I'll have to go back and replay and observe!

Thanks! I was able to grab it.

At first I was certain that it required the solution of another puzzle.

A bit tricky, this one...

The easiest way to catch the bird is to go into settings and slow down the game speed. This makes it easier to time it.
