    Had you heard of the Wandering Albatross before? Have you ever seen one in real life? I'm interested to hear!
    Correction: There is an editing mistake @ 1:36 - the distance to the moon should read 238,855 miles, my apologies.

      Major David Attenborough fan here. Watch the Life of Birds. He gets to sit next to a known grandma albatross! Btw, I think they're only in the Antarctic region, not the Arctic (edit: I think I heard you say that before you showed the graphic), but I do stand to be corrected.

    There's an albatross breeding colony not a mile from my house, in Dunedin, New Zealand, and I often see them flying over my home. They're truly amazing, and bloody huge. They go down to the Antarctic during summer to feed and then come back here to breed, with babies so ugly they're cute. They're magnificent creatures.

    I've been lucky enough to see wandering albatrosses as well as very rare Tristan albatrosses during my transoceanic trip from Argentina to South Africa 4 years ago. The Falklands and the Tristan da Cunha arcipelago are great spots for sightings, and seeing those majestic creatures flying through the sunset in the middle of the ocean is something magical. To me it was a quasi-mystical experience, something that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

    I was standing on the waterfront in Port Fairy in Western Victoria Aus. In front of me were 3 birds. A seagull, an Ocean gull and an Albatross. The size difference in these 3 birds is astounding. I’m sure I will never see anything like this again but was so amazing. The one thing that got me- other than the size- was the goofy face the Albatross had! Right up there with the Kookaburra. Since moving to Aus I have become way more attuned to birds and their personalities!

    On the Otago Peninsula of the South Island of New Zealand is a albatross breeding colony (one of the very few you can just drive up to). I was lucky to watch some young albatrosses learning to fly. It’s not until you see them in action you realise how perfectly they have evolved for the air. The seagulls look like toddlers learning to walk when seen side by side with an albatross navigating the air like a ballet dancer on stage. Thank you for the video. If you are ever in New Zealand, come see our albatrosses.

      Yes...an albatross was following/pacing a ship and was considered a good omen. A sailor (the Ancient Mariner) killed the albatross for some reason, and their luck turned bad. The other sailors took the killer's cross and hung the dead albatross around his neck instead.
      That is what I remember from high school 40+ years ago. I should probably go back and read that again.

    The expression “albatross around your neck” comes from the 1798 epic poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” In the poem the man kills an albatross and they are immediately set on by bad luck, so his fellow sailors force him to wear it around his neck.

    Considering how large eagles get, I could only imagine just how large the largest bird would be. Some of the larger eagles are so large that one person can't reach from wingtip to wingtip.

    Great video as always. I was watching Netflix with my wife the other night, and she put on The Watcher. I realised I knew the story, I'd seen it in a Thoughty2 video. We went to the cinema and watched Killers of the Flower Moon, saw a trailer for One Life, and realised I knew the story from a Thoughty2 video... I'm not sure that I'm ever going to be able to watch a true story movie or series again and not know what's going to happen 😂

    When I saw the word bird on the title I immediately clicked. Because I wanted to raise awareness about a very certain avian variety. Although it is widespread knowledge, I believe there are still people in need of this education. There it comes:
    A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
    B-b-b-bird, b-birdd's the word
    A-well, a bird, bird, bird, bird is the word
    ...

    Used to work as a commercial fisherman of the north west coast of Australia.
    We would often get one ir two Albatross that would stay with us for as long as we were at sea. They would just sit behind us picking up bit's and peices of bait etc. They/it would usually arrive at first light, sit behind the boat all day and leave at last light only to return the next morning.
    I started to take note of our catch when they were around and when they weren't. After about twelve months my obsivations showed that our catch was generally really good when the albatross were there and bad when they weren't. Make of it what you will, it always felt better when there was an Albatross hanging around.

    I was a commercial fisher for 30 years, have seen many of these beautiful birds.
    They surf swells, and when in savage weather and we lay too, go onto a parachute, these birds come and stay with us for days, often coming to look and be only yards from us, go up to the bow, and one will come in to look, flying so close you think they will hit us, but no, she will ever so gracefully turn, huge wings not moving, her eye firmly looking at me.
    All I can do is wave and smile, they know.
    I love them near, but when its time to go, they do as you spoke of, up and down, coming over the swells wth their wing tips leaving little wind trails on the water, up and down up and down, a most stunning sight, one last fly by, and up they go, come done and surf the swell, and are gone. A sadness comes, but a gladness overpowers that feeling, as for a few days, this must majestic bird, chose to spend some time around us, and we were able to gaze upon such beauty.

    This past spring we were walking along the Thames in Oxfordshire when we heard the loudest sound of wings. We looked up as a pair of huge swans flew directly overhead, maybe 2 meters above our heads. It was magical and I now keep my phone in my hands with my camera open at all times.

    The pteranodons huge sizes suggest that the atmosphere may have been thicker then and perhaps most of the land together caused huge winds which those dinosaur birds used to mostly glide.
