Albatrosses ride the sea winds along the coast for hours without flapping once, and they'd like you to look at their wings, please.
Laying her egg: “Look at my wings!”
Once it's laid: “Soaring!”
A baby's first words: “Fly me!”
The six Albatross babies
Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Frozen Coast habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

Albie
Albatross · Common
Friendly
Favourite activity: Telling stories of faraway seas
Albie has been everywhere, or so he says. He tells stories of faraway seas, giant whales and islands made of ice, and the younger babies gather round to listen. His wings are almost as big as his stories.
“A storyteller of great talent and flexible accuracy.”
Secret: He hasn't been anywhere yet. He makes the stories up from the shapes of the clouds.

Gale
Frost Albatross · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost
Clumsy
Favourite activity: Getting blown off course
Gale's feathers are as crisp and cold as the Great Frost, and she loves a windy day. She opens her wings, takes off, and gets blown somewhere completely different from where she meant to go. Last week she set off for the igloo and ended up halfway to Pebble Bay.
“Excellent flyer. Navigation is a work in progress.”
Secret: Captain is teaching her to read the wind. Secretly, she likes getting lost.

Driftwood
Shadow Albatross · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
Sleepy
Favourite activity: Napping on the beach
Driftwood naps on the beach, wings folded, head tucked in, looking exactly like a piece of old wood washed up by the tide. Babies have been known to sit on him. He doesn't mind. He just keeps on napping.
“Mistaken for a log more often than Swampy, and she's a crocodile.”
Secret: He dreams of flying over the sea at night, under the stars.

Captain
Golden Albatross · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn
Brave
Favourite activity: Leading flying lessons
Captain leads the flying lessons on the Frozen Coast, wings spread wide, calling out instructions in a big, confident voice. On bright mornings her feathers shine like the Golden Dawn, and every young flyer follows her lead.
“A natural leader. The little ones would follow her anywhere, and frequently do.”
Secret: She was nervous at her first flying lesson too, and she tells every nervous baby so.

Breezy
Rainbow Albatross · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow
Playful
Favourite activity: Riding the sea breeze
Breezy rides the sea breeze like a slide, swooping up and down the shore with her rainbow wings stretched wide. She never flaps if she doesn't have to. Why flap, she says, when the wind will do it for you?
“Makes flying look like play. To Breezy, it is.”
Secret: She has found a breeze that circles the whole coast, and she rides it every evening.

Soar
Champion Albatross · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show
Curious
Favourite activity: Looking for the edge of the map
Soar wants to find the edge of the map. He looks for it every day, flying a little further along the coast each day and coming back with new questions.
“A Champion with the horizon in his eye.”
Secret: He's convinced there's a sixth kingdom somewhere beyond the sea.
Did you know? The wandering albatross has the longest wingspan of any living bird: more than three metres from tip to tip.
