About These Birds
Eissturmvogel
Der Eissturmvogel ist ein langlebiger Seevogel, der über 40 Jahre alt werden kann. Er verteidigt sein Nest, indem er Eindringlinge mit übel riechendem Magenöl bespuckt, das die Federn von Fressfeinden verkleben und deren Wasserdichtigkeit zerstören kann – mitunter mit tödlichen Folgen. Der Eissturmvogel hat sein Brutgebiet in den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten drastisch nach Süden ausgedehnt.
Beck's Petrel
29 cm. Small; dark brown above and on breast; white belly. Critically Endangered; known from only two specimens collected 1928–1929 in the Solomon Islands and Bismarck Sea. No confirmed breeding site. Possibly nests on remote Pacific islands; one of the world's least-known birds.
