Colonies are very noisy as they bray to mark their territory, and also cackle harshly. They use their fanned tail in courting displays.<ref name="Robertson3"/>

===Reproduction===

[[File:Black-browed-albatross-Colony.jpg|thumb|Colony on [[Saunders Island, Falkland Islands]]]]
This species normally nests on steep slopes covered with [[tussock grass]] and sometimes on cliffs; however, on the [[Falklands]] it nests on flat grassland on the coast.<ref name="BLI"/> They are an annual breeder laying one egg from between 20 September and 1 November, although the Falklands, [[Crozet Islands|Crozet]], and [[Flora and fauna of the Kerguelen Islands|Kerguelen]] breeders lay about three weeks earlier. Incubation is done by both sexes and lasts 68 to 71 days. After hatching, the chicks take 120 to 130 days to fledge. Juveniles will return to the colony after two to three years but only to practice courtship rituals, as they start breeding around the 10th year.<ref name="Robertson3"/>
