No romance for lovesick albatross

A lovesick albatross has spent the last 40 years unsuccessfully looking for romance in Scotland, 8,000 miles away from his natural breeding grounds.

The lonely bird, dubbed Albert, is thought to have first arrived in Scotland after being blown off course in the South Atlantic in 1967.

For the past four decades he has been engaged in a futile attempt to woo gannets on several remote islands.

But experts said Albert had no prospect of finding a mate so far from home.

Firstly, I have to say, I had no idea Albatross's lived that long.

I think that if Albert the Albatross likes his home, than yes, they should try and see about finding him
a mate, i mean we all want someone to love, a soul mate so to speak, and this poor birds been
searching for twice as long as I've been alive, so I think it's the right thing to do.


On a side note, they should bring Albatross of both genders, you never know which way Albert may swing.

lol that might be true after being away from his spices for so long he might have forgotten how a mate looks like and swing the other way. but i think finding him a mate would be the humane thing to do
