Despite the California condor not being as obviously cuddly as a teddy bear, there are stuffed toy condors. Here are 4 different versions.
The stuffed toys all perched on the same box to have their pictures taken.
The 1st carries a San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park tag (and is made by Aurora World):
The 2nd is identified as a Wild Republic toy (made by K & M International):

The 3rd is labelled on its chest:
A separate tag states that the maker is RGU Group. Here’s the whole bird:
The 4th has a Grand Canyon Association tag (and is made by Merrymakers):
It’s great to see a bird with a full crop. This bird also carries a wing tag:
At 10 inches tall, this is the largest of the 4 stuffed toys.
As a bonus, here is a diminuitive (and unlabelled) Andean condor made of wool:
Stuffed toy California condors demonstrate the kind of affection that some people have for the great birds, affection that they also wish to instill in children.
