Which bird flies around the world three times a year, is the most loyal, and says no to 'adultery'?

The albatross is the largest bird in the world and also the best flier. They have long and narrow wings, a relatively long and strong beak, and the end of the upper beak forms a downward hook. Adult albatross are usually more than 1 meter long, have a wingspan of up to 3-4 meters, and weigh from 8 to 9kg. Male albatross are usually larger than females. The habitat of seagulls is the ocean. They behave very gently on shore.

Researchers have calculated and discovered that an adult albatross can fly around the earth three times in a year and a 50-year-old albatross can fly more than 6 million kilometers during their lifetime. , equivalent to eight trips to the moon and back. Seagulls are the most flying birds in the world. They spend more than 90% of their lives wandering at sea but they can still remember their almost permanent home.

The end of October every year is the time when seagulls flock to their nests. An albatross that has flown over the ocean for a year can find its exact home. Accordingly, single seagulls return to the nest and begin looking for a mate, while married seagulls patiently wait for their partner’s return. The waiting process can last from a few days to several months. Even in the face of temptation from ‘young members’ of the opposite sex, pigeons that already have ‘partners’ remain quite steadfast.

Few people believe that love exists in animals, but seagulls make people pay attention. Once these birds identify their mate, they stay together for life, even though they spend most of their lives roaming the ocean. Worth mentioning, even if seagulls have been separated from their mates for several years, they can still accurately identify their mates in the vast ocean.

Seagulls have no concept of “cheating”, if they cannot wait for their mate to return within a year, they will not hastily choose another mate and fly away alone.

Some seagulls, unable to wait for their partners, return on time every year and continue to wait. Very few males find another mate after years of wandering. This fidelity, which is difficult for humans to achieve, is the standard of the albatross. The seagull is the bird on earth that best symbolizes faithful love.
