seabird definition and meaning

What is "seabird"?

Seabird refers to a type of bird that has adapted to live and thrive in marine environments. These birds have a streamlined body shape and strong wings, which allow them to fly long distances over water and dive for food. Seabirds can be found all over the world, from the polar regions to the tropics, and they include species such as albatrosses, petrels, gulls, and terns. Many seabirds are colonial nesters, meaning they breed and raise their young in large groups on remote islands or cliffs. Seabirds play an important role in the marine ecosystem, as they can act as indicators of the health of the ocean and help to distribute nutrients and energy throughout the food web.
