Albatross Chicks

These really big birds nest by the middle of the North Pacific. There size is rarely understood, however Albatross are giants whose true size is rarely captured in photographs. Before i read the article in Ad busters, i looked at the images and thought it was an amusing piece of art work or photography. Astonished by the content in the article , i slowly became aware that these birds would fly out to sea and feed their chicks bits of plastic as they believe it was food. These picture only encapsulate a small scope of the tragedy. To show the true nature of this calamity, the photographer has not moved or manipulated the plastic or bird.
