Falkland Is, Black-browed Albatross Feeding Young, 2006
Falkland Is, Black-browed Albatross Feeding Young, 2006 - When I first saw these birds, I thought that they were a pair of adults communicating. I later learned that the young albatrosses cannot fly at all, and they grow as big as, or even bigger than their parents. The young bird is stranded, as it cannot fly. The parent fishes, then brings it back to the young. The fish is expelled from the parent's throat into the expectant chick open bill.
