Albatrosses spend months or sometimes even years out on the open ocean, raising the question of how they sleep. It’s known that albatrosses frequently land on the ocean, providing them with the opportunity to sleep for several hours at a time.

However it’s also possible, although not proven, that albatrosses can sleep mid-flight. a 2016 study found that a distant cousin of the albatross, the frigatebird, experienced multiple bout of seconds-long sleep while flying

The display of the Laysan albatross, on the other hand, involves 24 moves such as whinnying, head flicking, air snapping, and clucking. When they decide to finally mate, each pair produces just one single egg, which they will both take turns incubating while the other hunts for food. Once the egg hatches, both parents will forage for food for their chick until it is old enough to leave the nest.

Albatrosses are frequently referred to as having the smallest ‘divorce rate’ among all birds. Many mate for life, and are known to return to breed and raise chicks with the same partner year after year.

Adults are renowned for their intricate courtship dance displays which they practice for years to perfect. Wandering albatross pairs, for example, break out a series of at least 22 distinct dance moves, including head rolling, wing spreading, and beak-clacking.

Albatrosses are one of the longest-lived families of bird, with many reaching the ripe old age of 50 and over. The world’s oldest known albatross is Wisdom, a Laysan albatross. Wisdom is one of millions of albatrosses that return every year to the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, near Hawaii, to nest. She was first tagged there by scientists in 1956, as she prepared to lay her first egg.

They discovered that the birds use a very low frequency of sound called infrasound to navigate. The sound, which is typically inaudible to humans, is produced when waves crash together or against coastlines.

The study found that, when making decisions about where to go next, the albatrosses invariably chose the direction with the loudest infrasound. The reason could be that high waves bring fish to the surface, and so infrasound could inform birds of good foraging patches.

Wandering albatrosses travel more than 10,000km in a single foraging trip. So how do they find their way back to the same nest site on the same remote island year after year? One study by researchers at the University of Liverpool provides a clue. The scientists used GPS trackers to determine the flight paths of 89 wandering albatrosses breeding in the Crozet Islands archipelago, located in the Southern Ocean.
