Laysan albatross are facing numerous problems. Juveniles start practicing their intricate mating rituals at age 3 then after several years form a lifelong mating pair. The female only produces 1 egg every 1 to 2 years. Caring for the egg and young chick is difficult and they may take several years to have a successful fledgling. Breeding grounds are being destroyed by climate change and rising sea levels. Pollution is a problem as they accidentally eat plastic debris. Permanent feelings of fullness then leaves to starvation.
