The life of albatrosses is eternal sea travel, air travel thousands of kilometers away. Albatrosses often accompany ships. Having flown to the ship, they circle over it, then the birds hang in anticipation of something edible. If the sailors feed the albatross, then the bird descends into the water, collects food and follows the ship again.

The homeland for albatrosses is Antarctica and the islands surrounding it. But there these birds do not live permanently, but only nest. For the rest of the time, albatrosses fly several thousand miles from their native shores, but wherever they wander, once a year they return home, where they find their mate and hatch their chicks.

We hope that the facts about the albatross are interesting, but it’s time to move on to the instructions.
