Protection for a fee: Band-tailed Gulls and Red-legged Cormorants

Frigatebirds don’t occur in the cold waters of the coast of Peru and Chile, but Band-tailed Gulls (Larus belcheri) have developed similar strategy. Instead of hovering, some gulls have set up territories within breeding colonies of Humboldt seabirds. It is, to some extent, a win-win situation.

Speaking of birds in nests, five Chilean Flamingo chicks who were raised by a human “surrogate dad” at a British wildlife center have now graduated to joining the adults in the center’s colony. The hope is that their presence while inspire the grown-ups to breeding success.
