Small family, large distances
I am found on a marshy plateau in eTahtsesAqumidstseradnadmfisahlb. atross
Amsterdam Island. This is where I breed.
Each year, our family grows by fifteen Did you
to twenty pairs. All of us enjoy making know?
nests for our young ones. We use mud,
leaves, and grass to build our homes. The Both the male and female
baby chick stays with us for some months Amsterdam albatross

returning. I eat primarily seafood.
Oh! Cats
Over the past few years, feral cats have
hunted down all my friends. Further, goats
and buffaloes eat away most of the grass. We
don’t have anything to make our nests. The
spread of cholera from neighbouring islands
has killed young chicks.
We have bands Y REDENCDRIATNIGCEALL
To protect us, the French government CR
has put a band on our necks. This EN
VU
helps them to keep track of us. Every
year, we are counted and our health
is checked. The number of cattle has
also gone down, helping our chances
of survival. tbhWleaimAldme, ufsotnerdrtdohamemdeseatclilbciaantteerodinscspa. tospaurleatailosno
