when we asked our ma'am...the first thing she told was that,this was a poem written ..i guess in the 18th century,m not sure...but long before.So,never use logic .when something is mentioned in the poem.It is like that and nothing else is explained after.So,the thing is that the mariner killed the albatross for no reason.Out of impulse or maybe he got annoyed.Anything can come.We also hv a ques ..dont v?
and what ash786 gve is also correct,since it can b even that.
so why he killed it is not further explained in the poem.

he thought the bird was a bad omen becozz it bought mist and snow. it can also be that may be he thouht he bird was consuming a lot of their food,,,,,,,,,,, remember in the poem it is said that he came there for vespers nine. they already were short of food ,,,,,, if they had to give their food to the albatross just becozz it was hovering around them then how they mee their food requirment
