Well, sailors often saw an albatross as an ill omen. They were thought to represent a coming storm and killing one was supposed to bring bad luck. Despite of this it was common for sailors to kill and feed on them during long trecks at sea. In an epic poem written by Coleridge a sailor kills an albatross and is punished by having an albatross hanging on his neck. One of the more popular myths is that an albatross was a manifestation of the soul of a drowned sailor.
The albatross can be a symbol of freedom. That there are 'two friendly albatross' may represent that you are in a relationship that allows you both to spread your wings.
In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the crew hangs the albatross around the mariner's neck as a symbol of their blame and punishment for killing the bird, which was seen as bringing good luck. It becomes a physical burden and a constant reminder of his crime, causing him to suffer and struggle until he finds redemption.
