Fun facts about petrel birds/Reading task
Research:
It refers to the birds' tendency to return to the same nesting sites season after season. Storm Petrels are the smallest form of seabird in the world. “Petrel” refers to Saint Peter walking on water. Storm Petrels have weak legs that cannot support the bird for more than a few steps at a time on land.
My own facts:
If a person moves close to the petrel birds food it will make a noise with its beak like teeth snapping
Petrel birds can live up to fifty years
Petrel birds wingspan are two metres long
Petrel birds belong to the same bird family as albatrosses and shear waters
Southern giant petrel breed on the Antarctic coast
Giant petrel birds live at sea most of the time. They are scavengers. If they find a dead whale floating in the water, they would sit on it and tear off the flesh with their bills
Over the last twenty years, the number of southern giant petrels has decreased. Many of them get caught in long lines and trapped in oil spills
