Seabirds and Shorebirds

Yes they have special glands which filter out the salt.

You can't "filter" the salt out, but you can remove it by osmosis, and all animals - including us - absorb most of the water they drink by osmosis into the blood-vessels within the intestinal walls. An animal that can drink brine does the same, but its osmotic process has developed to transfer the water but leave the salt behind.

It does not use "special glands". Anyway, a gland produces enzymes, hormones other metabolic chemicals; it is not a filter.

Mated pairs of albatrosses return to the same deserted islands near Antarctica or in the north Pacific every two years to lay one egg on the ground on the seashore.

As I have been told, the Royal Albatross has it in terms of wingspan, but if you look at weight and body size, the Andean condor is basically a flying Labrador (with its head shaven).

They survive if they take care of themselves properly.

In order to receive a shock you must touch one wire and the ground or one wire and the "ground" wire. Electricity flows in a loop between wires and you must contact two wires at the same time. When a large bird, like a pelican or something with a long wing span lands on the wires and accidently touch one of the other wires while they are standing on the other one they do get electrocuted and die. The wires are usually far enough apart so they can't touch two at the same time. If there is a wire that falls on the ground and someone on the ground touches the wire, then they can get electrocuted and die. You have to complete a circuit to get a shock.

Puffins are an endangered species. There are about 10,000 left in the world i think so not many. i know it seems alot but it isn't!

A seagull has two legs.

incubated quail may hatch and then die if your incubator has not enough or too much humidity or if the eggs are not turned at regular intervals. also the heat is a big factor as if it is not a consistant 99.5 degrees f. there also may be problems with the breeding stock as in they may be overbred.

it eats about 25 fish a day

there are many more.

The Glossy Ibis eats small water and mud living invertebrates such as snails, worms and shrimps. Occasionally it will eat small Amphibians like newts and frogs but this is rare.

It varies a bit from seed to seed, but with most types of seed the bird will move it around in his mouth to get the husk off, and then swallow it whole. It goes into the gizzard from there and gets ground up into pulp by the grit and gravel in the gizzard.

The razorbill is a kind of seabird that is known for forming lifelong monogamous pairs. Even though females only lay one egg per year, razorbills aren't endangered. Adults dive into the sea to catch fish for themselves and for their offspring.

seagulls eat fish, but hawks eat seagulls.

a large gull,like the herring gull.

Yes. Arctic Puffins live at the North pole, along sea coasts, islands in the north Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean.

Seagulls come first !

In my experience, there's pretty much no bird that can't be tamed, and the Albatross is actually known for being quite tame already on land.

Of course, I wouldn't recommend it though, seeing as a tame bird is often a dead bird: there are some people who would take advantage of it's friendliness, and possibly kill it. Also, it's better and healthier living in the wild, rather than learning to go where humans are.

If you live in a rather unpopulated area however, such as some small island, there probably wouldn't be any harm taming your favorite albatross on the beach; just make sure you know the local laws. Don't use any unnatural food that the albatross doesn't already eat (their main diet is squid and fish) to try and tame them either. What seems harmless to us may be very unhealthy or even fatal to them.

Albatrosses pair up for life and they do return to land and to their nesting sites. Breeding pairs usually produce just one egg per year. Nesting sites are almost always in very remote small islands where they go unobserved by humans. It is something of a myth that they never come to dry land. They are capable of flying vast distances by locking their wings, at what would be our shoulder joint, and gliding on thermals or local air pressure 'pockets' formed by the swell or waves at sea. They can cover thousands of miles in this way. They are very unusual in that they can drink sea water and have a method of getting rid of the salt. They can feed by diving for fish and squid etc close to the surface and can also take fish from the surface with their beak as they skim the surface. They are known to live beyond 50 years.

He/she is an ornithologist.
Someone that studies birds is called an ornithologist.
An ornothologist

they are kinda like penguins cos they are black and white if u wanna see a picture type in puffins on google images

Out of the listed birds, the only one that can fly is the albatross.
