Flesh-Footed Shearwater
The Flesh-Footed Shearwater is a medium-sized seabird found primarily in the southern oceans. It is known for its distinctive pinkish feet and long wings, which help it glide effortlessly over the water. These birds typically nest on remote islands, where they lay a single egg in burrows.
Flesh-Footed Shearwaters primarily feed on fish and squid, which they catch by diving into the ocean. They are migratory, traveling long distances between breeding and feeding grounds. Their population is currently threatened by habitat loss and predation from introduced species on nesting islands.
