Which animal has the longest gestation period for a bird?

The bird with the longest gestation period is the albatross. Albatrosses are large seabirds that are known for their ability to fly long distances. They have a gestation period of around 11 months, which is longer than any other bird species.

During this period, the female albatross lays a single egg that is incubated by both parents. Once hatched, the chick is cared for by both parents for several months before it is able to fly and fend for itself.

Albatrosses are found in the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean. They are known for their long wingspan, which can reach up to 11 feet. Albatrosses feed on a diet of fish and squid, and are important members of the ocean ecosystem.
