Lifespan of Birds
Im afraid that we have to do a little bit of maths now. The opposite of mortality is survival. Both can be written as a percentage or as a fraction of one, for example a mortality of ... and seabirds live longer than small birds. Albatrosses live so long that it is hard to calculate their survival rates - they can live longer than the metal rings that identify them, and probably longer than most humans ...
