I read today
That birds divorce
It's getting worse
For the albatross
The climate's changed
It's now a mess
Poor albatross
Life's so much stress
Poor albatross
The food chain's gone
He tried so hard
But his family's torn
The oceans are warmer
There's lack of food
Breeding is difficult
It's not looking good
When it's very hot
People do get angry
Birds too get mad
No more monogamy
So I must be kind
It's not too absurd
To think this happened
To my Noisy Bird?
Note: A study on more than 15,000 albatrosses (well known monogamous lifestyle) in the Falkland Islands noted that the divorce rate was higher in recent years when the ocean was warmer, highlighting the influence of global warming. (This led to stress as nutrient supply dropped, birds having to travel further to forage for food, breeding issues etc). New pairs were formed particularly at the initiative mainly of FEMALES who find it easier to find a partner.

I guess female humans find it easier than the male to find a partner LOL.
Do you think the Albatross have feelings such as being broken hearted. What sorts of behaviour would they exhibit i wonder?
Sorry I don’t know. The full paper might discuss behaviour changes in the stressed birds. Thank you for your comments.
Don't take me seriously, i was only asking for a guess of what an albatross might do. I wasn't expecting a scientific survey response. I can't imagine an albatross sulking or writing poetry.... some human traits.
Well you learn something new every day bird divorces and what next vultures divorce laywers getting half of everything he catches lol
Haha yes and the learned owl as judge. Marriage counsellor? Thank you for your comments.
a fun take, on a desperately sad topic
thanks for sharing
Thank you.
Ohhhh
That’s new
It’s a trivia for me that I never knew
The fact laced with flowing words
So poetic
And carrying the message of the climate change
Our selfishness separated the creature’s love
Well spun dear Rozina
Thank you.
I imagine the vultures are the divorce lawyers...lol
Great write Rozina🙂
Thank you. Yes woundedheart too said the same about the vultures! The lawyers in this site may respond…..
I have been told on numerous occasions that I am an albatross .. maybe that is the reason my arms ache ................ a delightful first read of the day my friend ... made me wanna soar .............................. sad too though 🙂
Thank you.
Interesting happenings Rozina, something else that homo sapiens is to take the blame for.

Yes we are responsible for so much damage to our world. Thank you for your comments.
What happens when the Albatross comes home early to find his partner in bed with another bird. Is it possible the male Albatross isn't out foraging, but actually having it off with the bird next door.
Yes very possible. It will be The End….
