Water-Phobic Murre?
Fact: Because their tails are so short, murres use their feet as rudders for flying – spreading them apart for complicated maneuvers. They can’t turn sharply and sometimes have difficulty landing on stormy days, often bumping into the cliffs and needing several attempts to successfully land on a ledge.
