We got to feel how heavy an albatross egg was and see how big it was. This isn't a real one - just a model!
Here we can see how big the chicks grow. There is an egg, a 2 week old chick and a 5 week old chick on the ground. The white bird on Leon's lap is 4 months old and is heavier than the adult black and white bird!!
The wings of an adult albatross are really long . Can you see them in this photo?
We stretched out 2 children on the floor and the albatross was bigger than them!We found out that albatross eat squid. Sometimes they see plastic floating in the sea and think that it is a squid and they eat it. This is very bad for the albatross. We can help by making sure our rubbish goes in the bin and doesn't get washed down the drains when it rains.

Hello to room 3. Charlotte has been talking about the albatross visit so it is lovely to see all the pictures on your blog. It's fun to visit and check out what you have all been up to. Have a fantastic week.

Wow - bigger than two children, what a big bird!
