Albatrosses are nomadic birds that spend months wandering great distances over the oceans. Albatrosses are amongst the largest of flying birds. They sleep while floating on the ocean surface, drink seawater, and feed on cuttlefish, other small marine animals, and refuse from ships. They return to land only to breed, at that time they perform a stylized courting ritual of elaborate bowing and posturing. Albatross is the world’s most spectacular seabird; some have a wing span that goes up to 3 meters.
