這些都是在南極生長的鳥類，幾乎都是海鳥。ㄟ…我對海鳥也沒有什麼特別的回憶或聯想啦，只想到我家那裡不是靠海，但也會看到海鷗，不知道海鷗是不是從海面順著河流飛向上游的地區喔？我也不是太喜歡鳥啦，因為鳥拉肚子時不小心就會把排泄物噴在衣服上，或是車子上。衣服就算了，用水沖一沖放進洗衣機裡洗一洗，車子就很麻煩耶，尤其是一點一點的黃色排泄物，我爸說那是酸性的，不趕快清掉還會腐蝕車板。我洗車不用肥皂，只用水沖，碰到難以清除了黃色班點有時就要用指甲摳掉。還有一種難以清除的就是新做好的柏油路，黑色柏油會噴到車子下方，那個最難清，也只能靠打臘時，以非親水性的臘來清除非親水性的柏油班點。
嗯，從南極鳥類聯想到海鷗，再聯想到鳥大便，再聯想到洗車，會不會扯太遠了？

‧40c Snow Petrel (Pagodroma nivea):
The snow petrel as the name suggests is all white with contrasting dark eyes and small black bill, legs and feet. This bird is an erractic and swift flyer with a series of short rapid wing beats. They can be seen in groups hovering low over the open water searching for fish, which makes up most of their diet.
‧80c Cape Petrel (Daption capensis):
This is one of the larger species of sea birds that inhabit the open sub-antarctic and antarctic oceans. Opportunist feeders they will gather in noisy large flocks to feed at sea on fish, krill and squid. They have also been known to feed on waste from fishing boats.
‧$1.00 Antarctic Prion (Pachyptila desolata):
A small sea bird the Antarctic prion is a fast flyer which stays close to the surface of the ocean. They breed in vast flocks in both the sub-antarctic and antarctic islands between December and March and will migrate to warmer waters during winter.
‧$1.20 Antarctic Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialoides):
The Antarctic fulmar is an efficient flyer and will wander into the warmer waters during long antarctic winters. The birds are very territorial and defend their nests agressively.
‧$1.50 Antactic Petrel (Thalassoica antarctica):
The Antarctic petrol gather in large numbers on pack ice or ice flows, where they tend to remain. They are one of the medium sized sea birds found in antarctic waters being about 45 cm in height.
‧$1.80 Antarctic Tern (Sterna vittata):
A small and delicate sea bird with narrow pointed wings and very short legs. They are a gregarious species and in winter flocks rest on icebergs and on the edges of pack ice. In summer months a colony will band together in the sub-antarctic islands and coastal areas of the Antarctic.
