BBC earth u guys have the best animal shows
"Keeping up with the Kardashians" has better animals shown there.
An Albatross travels all around the world just for its baby, that’s some good parenting.
Such good parenting that they do not recognize their own child dying next to the nest unless the child is dying on the nest.
Anna Khalifah Umar albatross does not recognize their chicks in terms of their senses, parent depend on their nest if their chick were not in their nest and if the chick die they would not recognize that the chick were their child unless it was on nest
But then also doesnt recognise its own children, thats some garbage parenting lol
Nice story but I would've like to see the actually footage of what she's talking about. They were filming the entire time.
I love seeing pictures of birds and animals and plants of our world. Thankyou BBC Earth
An Albatross is an amazing bird. They are connected to the sea and the minds of human mariners for centuries. There is folklore regarding their treatment, and conduct towards these great birds can be the harbinger of success or disaster. Never harm an Albatross!
This video made me cry a bit, and the scene in seven worlds, one planet definitely did. Beautiful story and footage, thank you for sharing!
Whos watching this while laying in the bed waiting to sleep? 😁
I am
Me
👌🤝🤝🤝👍
Yes
yup
That’s crazy how they don’t know its their chick unless its in the nest. I watch BBC every Saturday
That is how it is.Nature needs us to stop messing with it.🌏
we dont choose what lives or dies i hope humankind will learn that one day before something teaches us the same outcome of choosing what lives or diies
This planet is so wonderful. I'm happy to try and keep it that way.
Abigail is so stunning! 😯
Hopefully the chick will life a long life like Wisdom, the 70 yr old albatross, and the oldest bird in the world.
Why don't you show the footage?
Kudos to Abigail Lees for doing the responsible thing & being a better naturalist than most.
Abigail, you have captured the very essence of the climatic tragedy we are facing ... and on so many levels, refusing to act. Well done and thank you.
Climate tragedy? Lol you sound like your in a cult
Lol!! What she described has happened for millennia. Just drama and propaganda.
What a moving Video... Great and Important work you are doing, please keep it up, for the sake of all these Species that are in Danger because of us Humans.
The camera work still amazes me
Goodness, such a touching video..Beautiful bird!
Albatross is the grand daddy of the seagulls,. Most of albatross life is flying miles and miles looking for food, they can be in the sea for weeks. Some make it back and some don't.
Потрясающая Музыка для души Сергея Чекалина!💗 💗 💗 !!!
Albatross chick's are really so beautiful ,i really want to see the main video of the bird island thank you so much BBC EARTH.
Wish you showed more albatross footage and pictures than your face.
Go bless you . Thank you for what you doing and sharing with us . This planet need more love from us . We need to save our planet
This was so powerful to watch, thankyou for sharing your story ❤️
Hi🤝🤝🤝🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
I wonder who got to see all the wonderful footage she is talking about?
Why do I have the Monty Python albatross skit running through my head.
It is a dream to see this specie in its home. Wonderful documentary! Thanks
Who was that amazing woman
my favourite channel bbc Earth
This channel always shows the unique of the nature
save dem babies!
Thanks BBC
Amazing story...these are such amazing and such beautiful birds
Such a sweet, wonderful woman with a pure heart ❤️
What a wonderful video. The Albatross are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I hope we can all make a difference.
Beautiful and so fragile
Excellent Coverage 🎄🎄🇮🇳🎄🎄
Hi
“It’s because of us” Well who of the 7 billion people needs to go and how many?
This starts out as a scientist's compelling story, then changes to an activists opinion.
I'm a fan of albatross since I've seen Erkenci kus drama..
Why didn't you guys film the chick mustering up that little bit of energy and hopping back on the nest? You're telling us all about what it was like to visualize it why didn't you turn the camera on?Dah!
I love it very much to see this type video..
I don't think this kind of video necessary for BBC series. Original presentations are wonderful & eloquent!
Now that I know a lot of people like this because 1 hour later there's like 50 comments
Fluffy albatross chicks, excellent video!!!? Abigail Lee, beautyful inside and out.
Is it just my imagination but doesn’t that beautiful woman share an uncanny resemblance to the majestic albatross 💕
It is. A strange, strange comparison that not only doesn't make sense but is more insulting than it is flattering
Stop thirsting over scientists
That was close
Close encounters of the bird kind
Amazing
It’s sad that baby chicks die because of us
@@krollic what I’m saying is that people over fish and chicks die
@@krollic What I think is “moronic” is to jump to conclusions like you people overfish and penguins starve and other birds too like albatrosses. Moronic means to be stupid or foolish is it stupid or foolish to say that chicks die of starvation sometimes by humans because they do and it’s sad
Albatrosses are a cool type of bird it’s biiig
good and interesting
W O N D E R F U L
What a beautiful scenery.. Those chicks are absolutely cute ❤️🐦🐦
Appreciate the staff explaining & sharing the video they are working on. For me, hearing your thoughts & decisions illuminate to us viewers what you see & handle in the field. Grateful for your work. Thank you
That makes me feel like you didn't watch that Baby chick story at all and that you just needed a story of some kind to attract an Audience and then seal the deal with a nice little lovey-dovey ending. That's what I think really happened. Lmao
We filmed.... Where's the film...??? I left it on Birds Island...☹
How do they make a nest? What is used for that? Apparently one nest is used multiple times
looks like a bunch of mud
@@HueManatee I thought so too. However, it seems they use the same nest multiple times.
@@WildSBlk Well I suppose they make it once and just re-use it. Seems durable enough
@@HueManatee That is true
Birds; mine, mine,mine,mine,mine,mine Cartoon "Nemo"
wisdom is the best albatross mama n she 's the oldest albatross alive.66
I remember when filmmakers were filmmakers......not Climatologists and Meteorologists.
Very well documented n equally very well narrated. But would love to know who makes those elevated nest for the Albatross chicks, almost each chick is occupying such beautiful nest.
So cute... 😍
I know this goes against the prime directive, and believe me I am a firm believer of allowing nature to do its thing. However if I was one of the camera crew or director and the parents abandoned the chick in front of me I would have had a new pet Albatross. Way I see it naturally selection would have ran its course if it would have been abandoned. So you either leave to get ate by something or die of starvation. Or take it in. I would have tried to raise it. 😊
They're so Beautiful
Hi
They are really cute I wonder what they taste like
The last sentence is just a joke for those of you that can’t tell
💕💕💕💕
Tolice, qualquer ser vivo está submetido as forças da natureza e da seleção natural. Muitos precisam morrer para os mais aptos viverem. É assim na vida, na natureza ou na guerra. A apresentadora tenta criar uma apresentação tola, alternando imagens, expressões faciais e emoções pra tentar convencer sobre o tema.
Nice news
👍👍👍
i thought one parent stays behind to babysit?
🌍💕
For bbc earth this was really soft usually they just explain this is how life works and how the chicks have to survive these harsh conditions
Nice flight of Eagle
Steven?
Do you talk about filming it. But you don't show the footage? I'm calling BS
My favorite chick is the one in the red dress. I’d like to make a nest with her.
Ur so beautiful 💯
Could've told this story faster .... 🙄
🤗 Video 🥴
Nice story but she dragged it out way too much
This could have been 5 minutes long if she would just spit it out...
Or show the footage
I can see that us being animals is actually better being humans because we're the cause of all the trouble on earth
What
Climate change is real and needs to be fixed as well as getting control on the fishing industry, great footage and so sad 😞
What is climate change?
What do these people think happened b4 humans... Soulds more like a god complex....
Why exactly the moment when chick "got the second wind" and saved himself was NOT shown? Practically none of the story was shown. Strange editing.
propaganda usually is
Let me see if I got this straight. Climate change is causing the storms to be stronger and colder? I thought it was the warming we were concerned with.
Well the heat speeding up the cycles of air moving around it does seem to make sense
@@raptorzilla0710 That's not how it works. This was ONE storm. I need more proof than some random journalist saying it.
Albatross and all other animals and birds what people are eating in day to day life including fish also have life and emotions. Instead of this emotional show which is definitely very good,BBC should do something to promote vegetarianism
This nature documentary, not a conversion effort, but thanks ♡
I just wanna marry this lady for some odd reason. I swear, wild life conservators have stellar wife qualities. lol
That’s just a simple seagull
Firstly just wanted to say some of the shots in this were fantastic and beautiful. But as i was watching I was thinking about the recent climate change report and the code red for humanity. If we're code red, what colour is it for so many animals and birds that because of us are doomed?
More hot air is what it is.....
Could have been a 3 or 4 minute 📹.
She spent so much time with albatrosses that she ended up looking like them. She has the face on an albatross. She is cute !!
It's very sad indeed, but there are way more human beings that are suffering inhumanely.
That doesn't mean we should ignore all other animals because humans are suffering...somewhere. and the Albatross is dying because of us and its our responsibility to fix it. You can care about more than one thing at a time. This video does a good job showing the consequences of climate charge that we Are already seeing. And its only gonna get worse
@@Fresh_Biscuits How do you know Climate "Change" is causing this? Because a journalist said so? For Christ's sake, it was ONE storm.
Weather changes doesn't mean climate change is killing these birds. Climate change these days are implying warmer weather, which doesn't match your cold severe wind. Weather behave differently all the time. I'll tell you LA is more cooler this summer than years before. Climate change, yes. But not easily convinced global warming. How about we think weather shifting? Normal cold area patch migrating elsewhere thus allowing warm air to move in.
It's all about politics and money. Convince the right people and you get grants and money, and thus, power. And if you're a business man or woman, then you only need to convince the right politicians and you can get the backing of entire governments to build your multi-billion-dollar "clean energy grid". It is literally impossible to determine Climate Change OR Global Warming at our present time because there are 1) WAY too many variables to consider that do not coincide with one-another, 2) too many temperature changes throughout the world on almost an hourly basis, and 3) not yet enough information or concrete facts regarding either Climate Change or Global Warming. Right now, Global Warming and Climate Change are just dog whistles for Leftist jerkoffs, and if you're not a Leftist then you aren't invited to the popularity contest. Which is all that it is: one giant popularity contest.
If albatross can only recognize their babies when they are on the nest, that makes them so dumb. I don't think they're that dumb. There must be something we don't know.
Let see more of the birds than u talking
The beauty of some of these birds are one of the reasons I believe in God even though I'm not religious. Some of these birds look definitely created and not only created but meticulously designed and styled. Like the mandarin wood duck
Wish I could have understood her narration better, this is where CC would have been helpful.
It's available top right hand side of the video, you can just turn it on.
Less person talking..more Albatross..cmon🤷
