Wandering Albatross

    The Wandering Albatross eats squids and other cephalopods, while the babies will eat fish and regurgitated oil food from it’s mother. It will fly a long way over the ocean to get it’s food. They live on exposed mountains where they can take off into the wind. When the mating season comes around ( which is every 2 years ) to attract a mate they will spread their wide wings and wave its head while rapping their beaks and making braying calls. It will live for an average of 30 years.

 Interesting Fact:

The Albatross is the bird with the longest wingspan at an average of 9 feet 9 inches!
