"Bird Facts!"

Hey! Here comes!!:

"Bird Facts!" 

Adelie Penguin. Tiny but one of the
most aggressive penguins!

Emperor Penguins.
THIS IS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED!!

The flightless Great Auk is an extinct bird very sadly. I would like to see a live one of these pretty much double-sized Razorbills with normal-sized Razorbill wings! The Great Auk was the original penguin, hence the Latin name, Pinguinus impennis, "imperial penguin". The penguins we know today are called so because of their similar shape, flightlessness and swimming ability to the Great Auk. The last breeding pair were killed on Eldey off the coast of Iceland and their egg smashed in 1844. The last sighting of this species was in 1852.
Again, thanks to all the epic people who take photographs of wildlife. 

A stuffed Great Auk, one bird I will never see
and will mourn forever.
