Gannets spend most of their time in the sea and form
colonies on the rocks or on islands, where they lay their
eggs. Gannets living in the northern hemisphere lay one
egg, and those in the southern hemisphere lay two. Left
alone by their parents when they are only three months
old, the young go out to forage for food. Most often, they
start to fly as soon as they leave the nest.
