    The Albatross has a wing span of up to 14 feet and only needs to land once every couple of years to breed. They can travel hundreds of thousands of miles each flight.

    Interesting related Facts

    Albatross was the name of a piece of music by Fleetwood Mac.

    Albatross is a score of 3 under par at any particular hole on a golf course. Cannot be achieved on a Par 3.

    Swifts can only take off from great heights as their legs have become so weak - they mate, eat and sleep in the air.

    They only really land to nest <ok>

    OK, I'll allow you "interesting related facts". Don't overstep your mark into the "fact of the day" territory OK?
