@sarah72noel No bird is with any bird at this point. All the birds in this video are subadults. They are practicing for the real mating dance next season. They will, however, do these sorts of group dances (around November) and then after one male and one female find each other has done a suitable dance, they settle down, mate and build a nest. The short answer: group dancing yes; group mating no.

@baybuh Actually these are subadults so these ones are actually practice dancing for next year. So no actual mating would occur between these birds this season. Next year, however, they would come in a little earlier, dance, pick one mate and build a nest. The birds are relatively site and mate specific after that. They will return to the same nest site pretty much every time they return to mate. If one of the pair should die, the other will find a new mate during the next mating season.

@Kraele Albatross DP porn is the next big thing...

Hmmm, maybe they should go for a menage-a-trois. ;D

These Blackfooted Albatross seem most keen on an orgy-- "Doesn't it get confusing after two or three or even four different birds join in? How do they know who's with who?"

The range of the noises they make is very wide. I wouldn't want them mating under my window though.

@googleconspiracy believe it or not, they dance and sing and clack at all hours of the day and night. One gets used to it eventually.

This is one of the most amazing videos I've seen on YouTube. Wow! Love it.

@tucsonchica glad you enjoyed it. These birds are some of the most coordinated dancers I've seen.

Is it typical for so many other birds to join in at least for a while? And are the similar birds with white wings actually not the same species? All 6 birds participating in hte thick of it were uniformly black in color -- is that a coincidence or is that usual?

@1psoas9 btw- From my experience it is typical for 2 to 4 birds to join in a dance. This 6 bird group seemed a bit larger than usual but I'm not an expert. It's a lot like a street dancing. Other birds passing by often appear to be inspired and join in the fun.
