Albatrosses belong to the family of the most spectacular gliders of all birds. Their bodies and wings enable them to stay aloft in stormy weather for hours without actually flapping their massive wings a lot. Similar to other oceanic birds, albatrosses drink seawater. Despite the fact that they normally live on squid, they have been spotted accompanying ships and feeding on garbage. Albatrosses only come ashore to breed. Breeding occurs in colonies that are usually set on remote islands in the ocean, where groups and pairs show their mating behaviour. Both parents in turn incubate the single large white egg, which is laid on the bare ground. Young albatrosses grow very slowly. Albatrosses live long and may be among the few birds to die of old age. There are some kinds of albatrosses which are very well known – such as a black-browed albatross or a black-footed albatross.
