🏳️🌈 Albatross for Pride Month! 🏳️🌈
Did you know that 30-40% of Laysan Albatross are recorded to be in female-female pairings? And also, due to a lack of females in the Antipodes Island, male Antipodean Wandering Albatross are known to seek bonded companionship with each other (as shown in Blue Planet II)?

Common Murres and Laysan Albatrosses spend eight to nine months of the year at sea (often in large flocks for Murres).

Although it is difficult to draw firm conclusions without detailed study of individual birds, most males that engage in homosexual behavior in these species are probably functionally bisexual, since they are usually already paired with a female (although a few Common Murres who participate in such activity may be unpaired).

Groups of five or six individuals often pursue the same individual, all jostling to mount him or her; typically a male will hook his bill across the neck of the bird, to throw it off balance.
