RIP that one anon's petrel thread from 2023

I'll make you this new one.

Funny how the mods are blaming the jannies for this fuck up.

Where are you seeing that? All I've seen were the "Mods made a mistake" and "mods being dumb" modposts.

The music thread, too. It was over 300 days old.

Just found out about this thing and this is the most creepy and off-putting bird ever. Something from a /horror/ general. Look at its dead eyes, it looks like a flying flesh-eating zombie.

these looks less creepy cause they are smaller, and the footage doesn't show their eyes as much...

Might be the most repulsive bird out there
Killing and eating baby penguins is on the level with being a tapeworm living in someone’s asshole
Disgusting creature - a devils pet

Do they only have one nostril? What am I looking at anatomically?

For some reason I am annoyed by that thing on their beak. I find it aesthetically displeasing and I wish it wasn't there.

>"Although it may appear gruesome or evil, this is just another form of adapting in order to survive," says marine biologist Dr Austin Gallagher, who led the study. Because a blind seal pup won't be able to avoid predators, find its mother or learn to swim, removing the eyes is a brilliant way to ensure your meal remains there for the picking (no pun intended).

>"When you look at what this bird is doing in other parts of the world, it’s really impressive. They are the crows of the coast, [resourceful and adaptable],” says Gallagher. In fact, they've even been known to land on and consume the meat of Southern right whales when they come up for air. "To our knowledge, this is the first record of this [particular] behaviour, suggesting that it may be unique to our study area".

>In Gallagher’s study, the shorebirds were successful in about 50 percent of their attempts at eye removal. In many cases, once the seal was blinded, other gulls would join in as well, aiming for other soft, exposed areas like the underbelly, anus and genitals (lovely, we know).

why are their beaks shaped like that? That has to be the worst beak I have ever seen
>>
It was a morning like no others,
It was a day of a low sun that smothers,
The horizon in blue all around,
And the smell of salt even in the clouds that abound,
The rocks were grey,
The air was sharp in the bay,
The time was cold like a slow whale,
Cruising under the waves the holy grail,
There he was on the blue,
A piece of ice with wings like mouths that chew,
To devour the distances all the way through,
From Heaven to Hell and Hell to Heaven never to rest,
But it was on the Earth he made his nest
