i just realized the only way for me to actually comprehend their size is to think of them as glide-flying swans

Nutsack biting height, there I said it are you fucking happy?

Never let a bird with a beak that size get it that close to your junk.

Doesn't really show the friggin' massive wingspan of the damn things, though...

Underweight my ass. Poor bird is so fat and out of shape that it couldn't even attempt to flee... :(

It's a chick: they just waddle, play with hay, and do flappies while waiting for their parents to occasionally feed them. Albatross chicks are huge.

This reminds me of that one subreddit, “science diagrams that look like shitposts“ or something like that?

I know albatross are big, but I can't stop seeing it as an abnormally small man petting an abnormally well-behaved seagull.

God literally used the scale-up tool on a seagull. I guess it was a Friday afternoon in the animal design bureau.

Don't do it man!
