    That's really sad to hear all the females are literally dying and the males are joining together over loneliness all because of humans

    Its worth nothing that same sex couples are very common anyways in Albatross! In both males and females. They’re essentially bisexual. So these same sex couples would happen anyways,its just the males are pairing with each other because its better than spending a life alone as they’re monogamous and very affectionate to their partners

    It breaks my heart that their numbers are declining, but it's somewhat bittersweet to know that the males will pair up even with fewer females. A life alone is a tragic one for an animal who lives for so long and in the end, love is love.

    Males are tolerating each other to not be alone. But then these males never have a family which is heart breaking, we need to protect the females so there can be more albatross family's.

    I do wanna note that there is an evolutionary advantage. Same sex mating pairs will often raise orphaned offspring.

    “ no survival advantage but is preferable to a life alone “ Cue emotional devastation

    So sad to know this species too might die out due to human greed. Let's get together to help innocent animals like these!

    A huge part of the problem (which has been known about for at least 20 years) is the kind of fishing long lines used by Commercial fishing trawlers, that catch many seabirds by accident.... the industry has not

    ISOTOCIN Bonds in birds are like our oxytocin bonds, it serves them in may ways to pair up. Keeps them healthy and happy in a myriad of ways.

    I have never seen these famous giant birds up close before! They are really beautiful 🥰 plus I never knew how long they live or the fact it takes a long time before they are ready to mate, thank you for showing this video! Can nothing be done to stop them being caught in the nets or a better feeding place for the females?😢

    No one wants to be alone, everybody wants to have someone to get old with.
