A general term for birds in the Procellariidae family, petrel order. Length 28-91cm. Most species are either grey or brown all over, or black on the back and white underside. The Procellariidae family is the most diverse and diversified group in the petrel order. They have diversified to take advantage of the relatively less variable marine environment compared to the terrestrial environment in a variety of ways. In other words, body size, detailed beak shape, feeding methods, and breeding and migration seasons and patterns vary slightly from species to species.
