The headline is a bit misleading since it doesn’t mention the ban is only for hunting. If you didn’t read to the second paragraph you wouldn’t know that.

Copper bullets are pretty awesome anyways. A smart bullet manufacturer would make lead core target ammo that closely approximates the flight characteristics of various all copper projectile so folks could afford to practice with the bullets that they hunt with thereby decreasing lead in the environment and wounded animals. I find it hard to believe that Condors are eating lead bullets from high powered rifles anyways. Those bullets rarely stay in the carcass. Lead shot in wounded foul I can see though.

Try to find .22LR ammunition that doesn't have lead bullets. If you do find it, don't shoot it through a gun, as the barrels aren't hard enough steel for copper.
