sea birds
Terns and pelicans
Sea birds, also written seabirds, are birds that spend most of their lives in marine environments, coming to land primarily to breed.
They include gulls, albatrosses, pelicans, puffins, and terns, among many others.
These birds have adaptations for ocean life such as waterproof feathers, salt glands to process seawater, and webbed feet.
The sea birds followed our fishing boat for miles hoping for scraps.
