Albatross

The largest living seabird, with a wingspan of up to 12 feet and an average weight of 1d3+8 pounds, the albatross was once thought to bring luck to sailors, or to be inhabited by the souls of drowned sailors. Albatrosses are rarely seen on land, except to mate and raise chicks in remote areas. They can keep aloft with minimal effort for extremely long periods, and can rest on water, so that they may spend years without touching land. An albatross can travel up to 600 miles in a 24-hour period, making them extremely valuable couriers for ocean -going wizards capable of summoning them.
