how to tell the difference between a cormorant and a shag?
The names "Cormorant" and "Shag" are more a product of tradition than taxonomy, with no consistent distinction.
>>4812435Doesn’t shag mean fuck in British? Kinda awkward

Pied Cormorant, also called Pied Shag.Phalacrocorax varius
He's still hungry
Over here i see a lot of cormorants that seem to be unable to fly or walk, they just lay there in the sand doing nothing and let you pick them up. Is that normal?
>>4812889Wow, I saw a cormorant wrestling with a footlong catfish it was trying to eat for like 2 minutes, I assumed it was too big for him to eat
>>4812978They could be affected by botulism, or possibly avian influenza.How are they behaving otherwise? Any physical signs of injury, unusual soiling, "leakages" or other physical irregularities?You should get video or photos and contact a local wildlife rehab and rescue, if there is one.
>>4812978Also do not touch or handle.
>>4812435nasty shitty motherfuckers, only scat fetishists like these birds

>>4812450you can't cormorant a shag
I don't care about cormorants and shags. Not even one bit. Frankly I wouldn't mind if they disappeared.
It's a very cool and unique type of bird

How do you feel about extinct cormorant?
>>4812435I used to live by a river on the Gold Coast in Australian and I loved the cormorants, both the little black ones and the bigger pied ones.When the pied ones shat is was like someone firing white enamel paint out of a massive syringe. It was great.
>>4828219Sounds like the case for a lot of birds
>>4828450Bloody oath. Whenever you shit you should try to make it a statement piece. I certainly do. So does the Australian pelican, Pelecanus conspicillatus. Pic related.
