Thousands of birds 'divorce'!

 

Albatrosses

Thousands of birds 'divorce': Albatrosses, like most humans, choose mates. Birds of this species are responsible for their mate. But scientists have recently found in a study that thousands of birds can now be seen without a mate.

A recent study published in the Royal Society Journal found that albatross birds are changing their lives because of the warming of ocean water. Because at this time they are facing problems for fishing. According to a study by five scientists, this species of bird is mainly monogamous with its mate. As a result, they are different.

Note that birds of the albatross species choose to mate like humans. After that, he stays with that partner all his life. Albatross is always responsible to its mate. Their divorce is a lot like human beings. When one of the two chooses another partner, the other moves away.

The largest winged seabird, the albatross, feeds on sea fish. Birds of this species can be seen north of the Pacific Ocean. In 2003, about 16,000 couples were seen in Auckland, South Africa. But now that number has come down a lot. Most of the birds are roaming alone, fishing.

Climate change has affected the life cycle of albatross birds, scientists say. Due to which they have started living without a partner. It also affects reproduction. As a result, the number of these birds is decreasing.

Scientists also say that when a bird is unable to reproduce, its mate leaves it. That bird finds a new mate in its next season. Otherwise, divorce of this species is rare. Now his companion is leaving even the birds capable of breeding.

Scientists claim that the rate of separation of albatross birds has increased by eight percent this time as compared to last year. Scientists are also looking into whether there are any causes other than climate change. But the breeding season is ahead. Despite this, researchers now see many birds living alone on Auckland Island. Which is a matter of concern.

Researchers say that the seawater has become warmer than before, which is affecting the life of birds. It also has a direct effect on the reproduction of birds. The lives of seabirds in particular have changed dramatically.
