What is Surfbird?
Surfbird or Aphriza Virgata is the only member of the genus Aphriza, which belongs to the larger family of Scolopacidae. It is a small and medium wading bird with a close similarity to Mata or Rybák. Surfbird has two geographical ranges. During the reproduction season, these birds can be found in scattered places across the mountainous, rocky terrain on Alaska and Yukon, and during the rest of the year it is located along most of the Pacific coast from South Alaska to Chile. Most often it occurs in small flocks, a group of surfbird is known as "Kahuna" or "Board". They have white rumps with a distinctive black stripe. The feathers are spotted gray and the bird has a white stomach. During the reproduction period, the adult male surfbird develops on his back.
After the courtship during which men will be compelled, which is focused on female and flight displays, creates a nest at the ground level in natural depression or scrape depression at the chosen nesting point. The nesting sites are usually found in a rocky, harsh terrain with some natural inby gettative or rocky cover. It continues to trim the nest with vegetation before putting the clutch up to four eggs. Egg couplings are incubated by both reared partners.
After the chickens have gained their first fluffy, without feathers, it dares away from the nest to forage for food, which consists mainly of small insects and invertebrates. After looking for food, the chickens are returning to the nest and parents still provide some level of care, provide protection against predators and teach chickens to fly. The main defensive technique used by Surfbird is to remain calm and still in the nest, and when the potential predator is alien at the top of the nest, the bird will fly directly from the threat of waving wings and harsh vocals to surprise or frightened predator.
When he matured, Surfbird expands his diet. In addition to insects and small invertebrates, she will also eat crustaceans such as muscles and barnacles that can be found nearbyi coast or in rocky exits. Like many creatures relying on the coast for breeding, food sources and survival, Surfbird is exposed to a high risk of oil leakage and human intervention.
