seabird colonies

Seabird colonies are large groups of seabirds that gather in specific areas, often on islands or coastal cliffs, to breed and raise their young. These colonies provide a safe environment with abundant food nearby and help protect the birds from predators. They can vary greatly in size, from just a few pairs to thousands. The nests are typically made of natural materials like vegetation or mud. These colonies play a vital role in marine ecosystems, as seabirds help control fish populations and serve as indicators of ocean health.
