Is this the behavior where couples fence with their bills, like a love ritual? Posted 9 years ago

  Yes! Tell me, I recall reading something about uploading videos when I signed up, but I can't find it now. Can you send me the link to the relevant tutorial please? Posted 9 years ago

    You cannot directly upload videos to JungleDragon, however, you can upload them to Youtube or Vimeo and then embed them here, by simply pasting in the video link. There's a few places where you can embed such videos:
    - In any comment or forum post, as well a photo description
    - On a species record (see top right species box, videos icon)
    - One a country record, see videos tab when having a country opened
    
    Hope this helps :) Posted 9 years ago

The Laysan albatross

The Laysan albatross is a large seabird that ranges across the North Pacific. The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are home to 99.7% of the population. This small gull-like albatross is the second most common seabird in the Hawaiian Islands, with an estimated population of 2.5 million birds, and is currently expanding its range to new islands. The Laysan albatross was first described as ''Diomedea immutabilis'' by Lionel Walter Rothschild, in 1893, on the basis of a specimen from Laysan Island.
