The family "Procellariidae," commonly known as shearwaters and petrels, includes a variety of seabirds found primarily in the Southern Ocean and the North Atlantic. These birds are known for their long wings and ability to glide over ocean waves, which helps them cover vast distances while searching for food. They primarily feed on fish, squid, and other marine organisms. Procellariidae species are characterized by their unique tube-like nostrils, which aid in their sense of smell. They are also known for their strong homing abilities, often returning to the same breeding sites each year. Many species within this family are migratory, traveling thousands of miles between breeding and feeding grounds.
