Wow! Seeing and hearing the gooney bird mating dance after all these years is like time-travel for me! My family lived on Midway Island for about three years in the mid-60's. For most of the year, Midway Island is home to many thousands of these birds, and during mating season it gets VERY noisy! I remember being a little kid, sent to bed while it was still light outside, with dozens, if not hundreds of gooneys doing that dance just outside my window. Jean, thank you for posting this!
I’ve never seen this before. What a dance! And the vocals. Wow! 2 thumbs up. This was awesome! Wonderful and their very beautiful! Thank you for sharing this...
@@thetwistedsamurai I find it hilarious that people are getting upset because you said the f word 5 years ago. I also find it annoying that I can’t spell it out properly otherwise TH-cam mods might start hiding my comments, it’s so dumb. But yeah, these birds really *are* f’ing adorable. ❤
Most distinguished Ladies & Gentlemen and viewers of this Esteemed Princeville. U-tube Channel, May I have the honor of presenting the “Laysan Albatross Courtship Dance” performed by beautiful Ballerina and her husband Albatross. This ritual dance is performed before their courtship, shows, perfectionism and finest degree of coordination, along with the perfect beauty in motion depicting, the age-old family traditions combine with few contemporary Jazz steps, and the beautiful, Couple, singing an immortal duet something like “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart…” Thank you Jean for sharing the Video 💘💕👍
I have watched other Laysans dance but these two seem much more advanced in their choreography, does anyone know how many years they have been together?
I'v known them from childhood....they'v gone to same school, same college, same church....been together for 12 years...hahaha...🤣🤣🤣 Even call them Alby & Alba...😅😅😅

Those albatrosses are such fantastic birds❤❤❤I can almost feel their happiness
Whoa! That's a DANCE for sure! They really got some dance moves! Amazing dance beautiful birds👏👏👏👏👏👏
I absolutely love this. Thank you Jean M. Matuska for sharing this delightful video.
Very clever and absolutely hilarious at the same time. They’re amazing birds.
They take years to form the bond, and mate for life.
Silly birds. They love each other.
I would love to live where I could have a pair like this nesting in my back yard.
Move to Midway Atoll and you can. That is where the majority of the species nests.

Ngl it would drive me nuts hearing this all day long, but they’re beautiful creatures

I can’t believe the variety of noises! Clacking and whistling and honking 😍
Thank you Jean! I just can't stop watching this precious wildlife moment...🤗We human beings are pretty boring in comparaison 😂
Love @ first sight! The sky calls are very different from Royal albies!!
Marvelous share 😍❤️‼️
The 5 step dance: whistle, honk , click, bounce, & dab
Scream too
My favorite vid right now! So beautiful! Could watch it over & over! Thank you so much!
They have one parrner for life, i think that's cute but the dance😁
Watching it again! I just can’t get enough!
Magnifique !!!! Ils sont tellement Beaux tous les deux....
That was fabulous ! That's quite a dance they do.
I have watched other Laysans dance but these two seem much more advanced in their choreography, does anyone know how many years they have been together?
No Idea how long this couple has been together but apparently they can live for over 60 years so some will have had a lot more practice than others.
I'v known them from childhood....they'v gone to same school, same college, same church....been together for 12 years...hahaha...🤣🤣🤣
Even call them Alby & Alba...😅😅😅
Beautiful video. Are they lovers.Most

THAT'S A KIND OF FLASHDANCE, JUST IN ALBIE STYLE. OMG, I LOVE THIS VIDEO. MY NR.1 AT YT.YES❤
They seem intelligent.
I... I think this is the sound they used for the mating sequence in Spore
Dear brother I am new subscriber
I want a mans who can dance like this
Same
Without the police putting him in the crazy house afterwards? :)
So nice 🐦 bird 😍🤠
Wonderful !
I don't know why I can't stop laughing.
choreographed dabbin
SUBHAN ALLAH.SO BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING.
OMG!! Their courtship dance reminds me of that of the European stork!!
Once they become a pair, they don't do this elaborate courtship dance anymore.
It's funny to think the whole species would be using only those moves.
Soo beautiful 😍😍
This is exquisite 💖
It's the newest dance move! Everybody to the albatross dance! Dance like a albatross!
Oh! Nice birds.
These birds got some dance moves
Nothing like the dance of the gooneybird.
Excelente la coreografía 😂nnnn
me when i meet my favorite cousin:
put nose on armpit and swell it.
reach youre head to sky and say
it stink!
Funny

Awww! They dab!!! 😂
Bro how do they decide on that [particular] dance though???🤯🤯
Play this on 1.5 x speed and add techno music, you wont be dissappointed
So cute.
Why are they in a garden instead of a beach?
Какая прелесть!
AND the beat drops pheweeeewewwww 🐦
Wow wonderful birds
Tinder should make a similar courtship feature.
After all that work, what if a mate rejects you???
Pairs mate for life! Which begs the question, why all the effort?? Lol.
reinforce pair bonds! These dances somehow strengthen the bonds. It's tough work, raising the chicks; you need to make sure they're still in it!
This dance stage progresses only after the "reject" hurdle is overcome. Hence no worries! 🤗
@@JessicaAnnePuk you would want your mate to be good
what did he mean by this
The Moves:
Shake head and Scream
Look up at sky and honk
Look up at sky and click once
Chatter excitedly
Dab
Synchronized nodding
Do you know that they can live upto 50 years
60 or beyond
