seabird
This term serves as a broad biological category rather than a specific species, encompassing diverse groups such as albatrosses, gulls, and penguins. It is typically used in ecological or ornithological contexts to describe the relationship between avian species and marine ecosystems.
While most seabirds are characterized by their ability to fly and forage over open water, the term also includes flightless species like penguins, provided their primary habitat and food sources are marine.
