Royal Albatross~Little one is attacked by an stranger~ 

😁

liznm do you know if this is common in albatross behavior and what the possible causes are? Could it be after the nest?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice thought but that's not how it works for albatrosses. For one thing they only breed once every two years and the chick produced from the previous breeding has already taken off for the open ocean and won't touch land again for years.

Это бездетные "дяденьки и тетеньки" альбатросы, возможно, что они просто так его ласкают, но мы не можем этого знать с точностью... They are childless "uncles and aunts" albatrosses, it is possible that they just caress him, but we cannot know this with precision ...

@@Anney88 Thankyou

Thank you, Anna. that could be, but it looks very strange.

Or...Maybe just saying Hello 😮 (I'm always wondering How they recognized their Own parent 🐥 ~They almost look the same to me...Smell or something else that only they Can feel Not Human~~)

Chi-sa Lin I know! It’s crazy, and how the other one knew from afar that he should go over there to help. I can see less than 4 feet from the nest and I can still barely tell that that albatross isn’t being friendly to the chick, to be able to see that from so far away and to know that it isn’t the chicks father or mother who’s hovering over the chick is crazy, but he obviously noticed something or he wouldn’t have came I imagine. I mean visitors do arrive sometimes but it would be too coincidental if the guardian was just visiting at that right time. I hope my comment makes sense, it’s getting late and so it’s getting hard to type lol

The parents have to get food for the chick. Some have to travel thousands of miles to where there is abundant food.
