one thing I sometimes do when talking to non birders about Albatross
is to get them to stand with their arms outstretched sideways.
You stand beside them with your arms outstretched too and hold hands with
them.
This is approx the wingspan of the wandering
(slightly longer but that adds to the dramatic impact) .
This kind of works on a visceral level .
Perhaps get a few or the whole group in pairs to do this
to get a feel for the immense size.
You may have trouble with the handholding bit :)

Subject: albatrosses and 14 year old boys
Hello bird lovers... Lorne here...
On Wednesday afternoon, at the school where I teach, St. Aloysius College,
Sydney, I'm presenting a forty minute lecture on albatross to 140 14 yr old
boys as an intro to our topic of The Sea and The Rhyme of the Ancient
Mariner.
I've pretty much got all I want to say in my head, but would love some
suggestions re. info that the boys should know or stuff that would keep them
enthralled during my chat as most would be prefering to play their X Box or
looking at Zoo magazine or shooting sparrows with air rifles methinks!!!
Can anyone give me up to date stats on numbers of albatross in the world...
general conservation info...any websites I can suggest the boys look at
etc.????
This is an important opportunity to spread info on these majestic species so
the boys can think about conservation in the future, so any help would be
deeply appreciated.
Ta,
Lorne Johnson
