Round 2, Poll 30
European Shag vs Short-tailed Pygmy-tyrant
sources under cut
European Shag
“Name is really funny but MORE IMPORTANTLY: they dive up to 200 ft deep in the ocean to eat eels off the ocean floor. What??”
A coastal breeder, the shag makes its nest of untidy heaps of rotting seaweed or twigs, cemented together by the birds own guano. The chicks hatch without down and take a long time to reach full size, often relying on their parents for up to two months before they can fly.
Some male European Shag are noted to be ‘bisexual’, spending part of the breeding season courting another male shag before going to pair off with a female for the remainder of the season.
Short-tailed Pygmy-tyrant
“small. hilarious name-bird combo”
“the smallest bird in the world after several species of hummingbirds. Naming this beast a "tyrant” is the funniest thing ever. Also I’m tail-shaming it" (for reference: tyrant refers to the family this bird belongs to- tyrant flycatchers, which are named after kingbirds)
“Although its plumage is similar to some other tyrant flycatchers, in the field the bird is more often mistaken for a large beetle or insect, especially while in flight… Its flight movements have a mechanical-feel that enhances the insect comparison.” - Wiki
Images: European Shag (Rober Bochenek); Flycatcher (Anselmo d'Affonseca)
