Comments

From Ryan : While I find this short quite humorous, it really doesn't interest me. Donald Duck is in the Andes, studying condors. He takes a giant condor egg and it hatches. Donald hides in the egg as the mother returns. When she sits on him, he gets too hot and nudges her. She then thinks Donald is her baby.

I have seen "The Contrary Condor" and would like to
