I wanted to load another video of the albatross dancing that had sound so you get an idea of what it sounds like around here. They can make some pretty interesing sounds, not to mention dance moves.
I think the most amazing thing is the fact that these birds have no significant fear of humans. When we band them we just sheild their head so they can't bite and they just sit on their nest as we do it. Some are a little feistier than others but some are completely calm. It's strange to just be able to walk up to a bird like that. They clap their bill at you usually but it always seems like a half-hearted attempt to get you.
