Parakeet Auklet Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Parakeet Auklets frequently eat plastic pellets they find floating at sea. Although eating these pellets probably poses a risk, no harmful effects have yet been demonstrated.

Unusual bill structure is probably an adaptation for handling slimy gelatinous prey, like jellyfish, although it is unclear exactly how the bill is used.

On land, Parakeet Auklets walk mostly on their legs and not their toes.
