A seabird is a type of bird that is primarily adapted to life in marine environments. These birds are often found near oceans, seas, and large lakes, where they feed on fish, crustaceans, and other marine organisms. Common examples of seabirds include albatrosses, gulls, and penguins. They have specialized features such as webbed feet and long wings that help them glide over water and dive for food.
Seabirds play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by helping to control fish populations and serving as indicators of ocean health. Many species are migratory, traveling long distances between breeding and feeding grounds. However, seabirds face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, making conservation efforts important for their survival.
