kyyhkyt

Kyyhkyt, also known as the Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis), is a large seabird belonging to the family Procellariidae. It is native to the North Atlantic Ocean and breeds in colonies on remote islands and coastal cliffs. The species is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a black cap, white cheeks, and a black back and wings. The Northern Fulmar is known for its long, narrow wings and a distinctive call, which is often described as a loud, harsh "kyyh-kyyh" sound.

The Northern Fulmar has a cosmopolitan distribution, with breeding populations found in the North Atlantic, including Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and the British Isles. It is a migratory bird, spending the non-breeding season in the open ocean. The species feeds primarily on fish and squid, which it catches by diving from the surface of the water.

Northern Fulmars are long-lived birds, with lifespans of up to 30 years in the wild. They are known for their strong, direct flight and their ability to soar for long distances. The species is currently listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), although it faces threats from habitat loss and pollution. Conservation efforts are focused on protecting breeding colonies and reducing human impacts on the species' marine habitat.
