It is a collection of bird families. There are many (21 at least) different kinds of albatrosses, and the largest kind has about 3.4-metre-long wings. Like other seabirds, albatrosses can drink sea water. They mainly live on fish, and they sometimes follow ships to eat leftovers. They usually catch fish on the surface, but they may also dive into water to catch their “seafood”. Albatrosses are known for their excellent flying abilities. They can fly thousands, even tens of thousands of kilometres without stopping. In windy days, they are able to stay in the air for hours without moving their wings. Most albatrosses live in the Antarctic and the North Pacific Ocean. They spend most of their lives on the sea. In winter, you can also find them in Shandong, Taiwan and other seaside provinces of China. Every autumn, they fly back to their old homes on the islands far away from the land, where they give birth to babies by laying eggs. The mother albatross lays one egg every one to two years. The parents take care of the egg in turn. Baby birds grow very slowly. They can’t fly until about 10 months after birth. Albatrosses are beautiful seabirds, but their population is very small. Many kinds of albatrosses are even in danger. China has listed albatrosses as first-class protected birds. Some of them have been on IUCN Red List. However, the protection of albatrosses still faces many challenges. Further international cooperation (合作) and scientific research are important to make sure these beautiful seabirds continue to fly freely in the sky. ( )1.
