yeah they still get together! and oftentimes same-sex couples will end up with a baby anyways, because they’ll poach one from their neighbors if one of them happens to lay two eggs!

(albatrosses only raise one child at a time. one. uno. and usually albatrosses only lay one egg, but if they get a second egg by surprise when they already have one they’ll usually just shove it out of the nest and let a childless pair snag it.)

because BABY is the right of all sentient beings!

albatrosses of all species mate for life, which is a big honkin’ deal for a bird that lives for well north of 60 years!

when an albatross reaches sexual maturity, it will attend a yearly gathering of other single albatrosses of its own kind, whereupon it will perform a long, complicated, and EXTREMELY bizarre courtship with its chosen paramour until they seal the deal! TILL DEATH DO US PART.

(not all mated pairs are male-female, either! there’s also a fair number of male-male and female-female pairs out there who just decided they liked each other better than the opposite sex, and baby, that’s just natural.)

the albatross pair will spend most of their time apart, drifting gently around the world on the ocean air currents thousands of miles apart. but when the time comes around to make another, smaller albatross, they’ll return to the same place they first said their vows to find each other and get crackin’!

they then proceed to create and raise a beautiful baby muppet together, and the circle of life goes on.
