The order Procellariiformes includes a group of seabirds known for their long wings and excellent flying abilities. This order comprises families such as albatrosses, petrels, and shearwaters. These birds are often found in open ocean environments and are known for their ability to glide over long distances with minimal energy expenditure.
Procellariiformes are characterized by their unique tubular nostrils, which help them smell food from great distances. They primarily feed on fish, squid, and other marine organisms, often scavenging from the surface of the water. Many species are migratory, traveling vast distances between breeding and feeding grounds.
