@@catherinebreitfeller669 thank you Catherine. Bless you! ❤️

word!

Even longer. There was one called Grandma who lived to be over 60.

@@tracy9610 Uh nice 🤗

Nice

*Lol, I heard that and read your comment at the same time.*

Am amazing long life

Actually they don’t touch land for the first three to four years of life before they return to begin looking for a mate. However they don’t generally begin breeding until they are around six years of age 😊

They don’t fly for a year, they have to land on water to feed and rest, they only go onto land to find their mate and breed, the rest of their lives are at sea but landing on it often.

They don’t fly for 2 years straight. They land in the ocean regularly.

Amazing Bird!

Because it’s wrong, they land and feed on the sea.

yes exactly what i was about to commenttt shes a masterminddddd

@@charlotte-ns1vrSAME

Landed on the sea and took a nap I guess? ( didn't land on solid land)

@@jurassicparkboom2426 Correct

Gain altitude and glide. 10 foot wingspan.

I’ve seen bird spread their wings in the sky.maybe they sleeping . So it’s possible

They sleep while they fly.

The title is plain wrong.

mate

The guy is a liar.

Birds don't sleep like people. Sleep is needed by the brain to arrange the information collected during the day in order to create new synapses. The more primitive the species, the less information it collects because it only needs instincts to survive. Unihemispheric sleep is a phase of deep sleep in which there are dreams, but it allows the birds to be awake in order to monitor the possible arrival of predators. Some birds even have one eye open while sleeping. So the birds can take a nap in flight without any problems. Sharks do not sleep at all because at the top of the food chain and in an unchanging environment, the brain does not need to progress.

@@ksenap7233 You had me until the last sentence. I would think all sharks did was sleep because they have nothing to worry about.

I believe their brain sleep half one at a time.

I think what he's saying is they don't touch dirt except for breeding? I think they left out some sections. There is another video saying they eat, rest and sleep on the ocean.

John Key kept us all asleep for a decade while he ran his scam and lies and ruined NZ then vanished overnight. Literally the only mention of that treasonous little snake i have heard since he fled was that he had bought a house on the Sydney waterfront for 10M and immediately relisted it for 11M the next day. Wow thanks Johnny, you disgusting sociopath, I bet the Aussies are pleased to have you there ruining their housing affordability too with your profiteering...

No they didn’t, they land on water to rest, but don’t touch land for at least a year. In the case of juveniles they won’t touch solid land for three to four years.

Exactly.

"At sea" would, I think, have been better phrasing. It also might have been nice to mention a stat like "of which they spend x months on the wing, in flight for up to x hours at a time". Oh well. At least we got to watch some genuinely lovely film.

they can pick fish from sea without actaully landing and urinate while fying also maybe their structure sports having their wings spread open without using its muscles,and if it doesnt require a effort it can just go with the wind while sleeping,and also they may require a lot less sleep like some sharks do.

@@khafvaal4415 In other words, you don't know, and this title is nonsense clickbait.

They are beautiful

@@khafvaal4415 Total rubbish, they land on the sea and sleep and feed in the sea

They eat fish and squid, and they drink sea water each time they eat. Their nostril’s literally desalinate the water they take in.

Listen to the first part of the video, says “solid” ground.

Sleep too

@@boson2916 they sleep while flying. They get micro-naps in the air.

Wow! That's cool

They eat fish. In the ocean. They are at sea most of their lives, only landing on the ground for breeding season.

90% of their viewers are in the USA, as is the Smithsonian.

Please spell it as *metric, just like 99.99% of the world. 🇺🇸
