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!
@@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 UA-cam mods might start hiding my comments, it’s so dumb. But yeah, these birds really *are* f’ing adorable. ❤
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...
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...😅😅😅
dear Jean, I am an artist and I am working on an exhibition about animal communication. Would it be possible to screen your video for my show? Thanks, M

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.
Silly birds. They love each other.
They take years to form the bond, and mate for life.
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.

Hey I saw them near the beach in Hawaii
Ngl it would drive me nuts hearing this all day long, but they’re beautiful creatures
@@user-zv7yb4yp9g no kidding sounds like a horse squealing

That was fabulous ! That's quite a dance they do.
Magnifique !!!! Ils sont tellement Beaux tous les deux....

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

It's funny to think the whole species would be using only those moves.

Главное - показать, что умеешь ловить блох. Вот он - секрет супружеского счастья альбатросов.
I... I think this is the sound they used for the mating sequence in Spore

Dear brother I am new subscriber
Once they become a pair, they don't do this elaborate courtship dance anymore.
I don't know why I can't stop laughing.
It's the newest dance move! Everybody to the albatross dance! Dance like a albatross!
me when i meet my favorite cousin:
This is exquisite 💖
Why are they in a garden instead of a beach?
Nothing like the dance of the gooneybird.
Какая прелесть!
Oh! Nice birds.
Excelente la coreografía 😂nnnn
Wow wonderful birds
Bro how do they decide on that [particular] dance though???🤯🤯
Awww! They dab!!! 😂
put nose on armpit and swell it.
reach youre head to sky and say
it stink!
Funny
These birds got some dance moves
What state is this at? I watch the Albatross in New Zealand ( Live Royal Albatross can ) they look different from them
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that they are in the USA and there in Hawaii. 😊
SUBHAN ALLAH.SO BEAUTIFUL & AMAZING.
AND the beat drops pheweeeewewwww 🐦
Play this on 1.5 x speed and add techno music, you wont be dissappointed
Tinder should make a similar courtship feature.
The Moves:
Shake head and Scream
Look up at sky and honk
Look up at sky and click once
Chatter excitedly
Dab
Synchronized nodding
Beautiful
Do you know that they can live upto 50 years
60 or beyond
