Seabirds and Shorebirds

I certainly hope not. I'm pretty sure they are a protected bird, because of their numbers and geographical isolation. To clarify the above answer, puffins are not considered an endangered species but "they are threatened by human activities and are rare in many areas where they were once abundant" according to Project Puffin which is managed by the National Audubon Society. According to a recent Travel Channel program called Bizzare Foods, puffin are consumed in Iceland. One of the only birds they do eat. They are eaten smoked, grilled.

There are several but the commonest one I can think of is the Pelican.

sea birds drink seawater! what else! :) sea birds drink seawater! what else! :)

Auk

Well it is only balck but it looks shiny when the sun shines on it and when the sun shines on it it looks purple. and it is called a black rat snake

The magnificent frigatebird has a forked tail.

If it was about 18 - 22 inches tall and had a long pink beak, it was probably an American White Ibis, Eudocimus albus. Many gulls also have black tips on their wings. Black pigment makes the feathers more wear-resistant.

aardvark: a burrowing mammal with a long snout, powerful claws, long tongue, and heavy tail.

auk: a small black-and-white heavy-bodied seabird.

basilisk: a lizard, related to the iguana, that is able to run upright on its long hind legs.

buck: a male animal of some species, including the antelope, deer, goat, kangaroo, and rabbit.

chick: a young bird, especially a young chicken, or a hot girl.

chipmunk: a striped rodent of the squirrel family that lives on the ground, collects nuts and fruit, and stores food in cheek pouches.

elk: looks like a moose, related to deer family.

gerenuk: a slender antelope, the male of which has long horns that curve backward.

haddock: a fish that is related to but smaller than the cod.

hawk: a bird of prey that is active in the daytime, typically having broad wings, a short hooked beak, strong talons, and a long tail.

lark: a small songbird with brownish feathers, noted for its song.

meadowlark: a songbird with brown speckled feathers and a yellow breast with a black crescent-shaped mark across it.

quillback: a freshwater fish of the sucker family with a long ray projecting from its dorsal fin.

roebuck: a male roe deer, especially an adult one.

shark: a carnivorous fish, with sharp teeth and rough skin.

skink: a small smooth insect-eating lizard with a long thin body and small limbs. It lives in temperate and tropical regions, especially in Asia and Africa.

skunk: a black-and-white animal of the weasel family that ejects a foul-smelling liquid from its gland as a defensive action.

springbok: a small swift gazelle noted for its ability to leap high in the air repeatedly when startled. Native to: semiarid regions of southern Africa.

stickleback: a small spiny-backed fish found in both salt and fresh water that has distinctive nest-building and courtship behavior.

stork: a large wading bird that has a long legs, a long neck, a long straight beak, and often black and white feathers.

tick: a parasitic fly that lives on the skin of sheep, cattle, horses, and other animals.

waterbuck: a large antelope with a shaggy dark-gray or reddish coat, found in grassland and woodland near open water.

woodchuck: a heavy-set short-legged marmot with brownish fur streaked with gray.

yak: a large longhaired ox that has long curved horns and is found both wild and domesticated. Native to: Tibetan highlands.

Probably a skua.

The most common reason for a lack of seagulls in an area is that there is no food source for them. Seagulls are scavengers and cannot feed on open water like other birds.

1. Other predators of blackbirds include Raccoons, snakes, crows, owls, hawks, and Red Foxes. Some parasites of Red-winged Blackbirds include blood-sucking flies, lice, and mites. When breeding season is over, Red-winged Blackbirds join enormous flocks, often mixed with Grackles, European Starlings, and Cowbirds.

No

The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large, migratory bird known for its long legs, long neck, and distinctive black and white plumage. It typically inhabits wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural areas across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. White storks are famous for their migratory patterns, often traveling thousands of kilometers between their breeding and wintering grounds. They are also associated with folklore and symbolize good luck and fertility in many cultures.

I have no clue...

something really dumb and wast of time

It means to trick or deceive in a way that is humorous or amusing.

parrot

no

albatross

For the Telegraph Crosword !!........OYSTERCATCHER

I think that the GLAUCOUS GULL eats fish because all of the sea gulls eat fish.

The ibis hunts primarily by wading through shallow waters and using its long, curved bill to probe into mud and sand for food. It primarily feeds on insects, crustaceans, and small fish, using tactile senses to locate prey hidden beneath the surface. Ibises are known to forage both alone and in groups, often employing cooperative strategies to flush out food. Their hunting techniques can vary based on the species and habitat, but they are generally skilled at adapting to their environment.

Gannett

Roughly between 25 and 30cm, but it really depends on the breed (apparently there are numerous species of African Swallows - there are about 47 different varieties of swallows that can be found in Africa). And LOL at Monty Python!!! XD

In their nests which can be found away from beaches: on islands, spits, rocky jetties, sea "junk" along a quiet shore, or even moored boats. To keep safe from predators, they don't leave the nest until they are already full size; they remain safe near the nesting site until their primary feathers are grown.

This is only partly true. They seem to 'nest' at night only when they are actually nesting to raise young. The rest of the time (the greater part of the year) they sleep out in the open where they feel safest - inland this could be parkland, even car parks, apparently, and of course out at sea. Here in South Devon, at sunset we observe flocks of gulls coming from all around, gathering above this one particular valley and then, altogether heading off out to sea, presumably to sleep on the water.
