I've never realized Albatrosses look like gigantic seagulls, lol. Also, I'm amazed how calm the Albatross is when its baby was being handled by a human!

It's funny that "albatross around my neck" exists as a phrase that makes the species seem so unlikable cuz they're such sweeties irl. I love albatrosses.

Is that your own birb in your icon??? I love it, it looks so mischievious and alive.

Hey there!

RIGHT?! I can't get over how gentle and calm they are. I wasn't expecting it.

It is! His name was Cheesecake. He was such a wonderful bird full of mischievous fun.

I remember this beautiful scene from a documentary I watched years ago on Netflix... It was a pair of albatrosses flying to the galapogos to raise their family, I think? I forget, I just know they were doing something along the lines of migration and family stuff. But it was so amazing watching these birds fly together in such a graceful formation and then when they landed, just the way they treated each other was so tender and gentle. They really are beautiful birds.

That's so sweet. Cheesecake is a good name for a cockatiel (^___^) Did you draw that yourself? It's great.

Is it weird I want to cuddle with these large magnificent creatures? 😆

Yes, I drew and colored it. At the time, I was into traditional art media.

Nope!

That's so cool it looks professional, like an illustration for a novel about a puckish little bird 😍

Thank you!

Wow, I didn't realize they were so big either! I feel like I missed my calling to be a field researcher and spend my life amongst birbs :-)

Me too! I would love to work with animals, especially birds all day long.
