Why do albatrosses like strong winds?

For most birds, they usually fly very fast when there is no wind. Once there is a storm warning, they will avoid it, but albatrosses are full of joy and can resist strong winds. Between the vast blue sky and blue sea, albatrosses can always skillfully use the airflow on the sea surface to fly at a high speed like a glider. It only takes one lap, which is two kilometers away. In just one hour, it swept 1 13 kilometers of sea surface, which is called "the king of birds". It is said that an albatross once flew more than 5000 kilometers in 12 days. Why do seabirds with wings as long as 4 meters prefer strong winds and waves? Because there is an updraft on the sea to make them slide, the stronger the wind, the faster they fly. Once the wind is lost, they will find it difficult to fly, which is simply painful for albatrosses. Experienced old sailors know that there will be no good weather where albatrosses appear.
