Gay Albatrosses Find True Love With Sir David Attenborough
A pair of young male albatrosses were captured finding romance in the most recent episode of Sir David Attenborough's acclaimed series Frozen Planet II.The avian romance took place on Antipodes Island, an uninhabited subarctic island that is home to untold numbers of birds, including communities of wandering albatrosses.
Attenborough noted how one 14-year-old male wandering albatross had sexually matured and was finally ready to find a mate. The unnamed virginal male soon found a suitable female candidate and began to woo her via a ritualized process of strutting and other movements.
Things were going well, even getting to bird third base where the pair let it all spread out so they could compare wing size.The process appeared headed for success, but then an additional suitor arrived.
Soon, the new arrival was strutting and spreading his wings. And then a third male arrived, creating an unwelcome flock block for the first male.
