Royal albatross http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Royal_Albatross (Northern and southern varieties exist, but it is unclear whether they represent subspecies or not. This is an amalgamation)

Black-footed albatross http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-footed_Albatross (Arguably "black albatross" is more accurate, but there are sometimes white individuals, so I guess that's out)

Storm-petrel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Storm-petrel (There are many varieties, but I prefer the generic name, sans any modifiers)

Diving-petrel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelecanoididae ("There are four very similar species all in the family Pelecanoididae and genus Pelecanoides Lacépède, 1799, distinguished only by small differences in the coloration of their plumage and their bill construction" Excellent. Means I get to knock off early)

Shearwater http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shearwater (Generalised creature, based on the smaller genus Puffinus)

Pelicaniformes (pelicans, cormorants and allies)[edit]

Great white pelican http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_White_Pelican (Ought to give players a fright, if the game window is too narrow to display "pelican" and simply shows a "Great White" hanging out in a pond)

Pink-backed pelican http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink-backed_Pelican (Chosen to add a bit of colour)

Phaethontiformes (tropicbirds)[edit]

Tropicbird http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-billed_Tropicbird (There are only three species of bird in this entire order and I felt it would be strange to be so detailed about them. This is based on the red-billed tropicbird, because that had the nicest picture)

Upupidae (Hoopoe)[edit]

Hoopoe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upupidae Only one species. Hoopoe is plural, like sheep, I think. There is a giant extinct species, but wiki is not specific about its size.

Phoeniculidae (Woodhoopoes)[edit]

Green Wood Hoopoe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Woodhoopoe There are a lot more species of woodhoopoe than conventional hoopoe, for some reason. This species has a whole load of colours, despite its name.
