Gooney birds, of the natural family Diomedeidae, are expansive seabirds partnered to the procellariids, storm petrels and jumping petrels in the request Procellariiformes. They go broadly in the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific. They are truant from the North Atlantic, albeit fossil remains show they once happened there and intermittent vagrants are found. Gooney birds are among the biggest of flying winged creatures, and the incredible gooney birds have the biggest wingspans of any surviving fowls, arriving at up to 12 feet. The gooney birds are normally viewed as falling into four genera, however there is difference over the amount of species.

Gooney birds are exceptionally effective buzzing around, utilizing element taking off and slant taking off to blanket incredible separations with little effort. They eat squid, fish and krill by either searching, surface seizing or jumping. Gooney birds are frontier, settling generally on remote maritime islands, frequently with a few species settling together. Pair bonds in the middle of guys and females structure over a few years, with the utilization of "ritualized moves", and will keep going for the life of the pair. A reproducing season can assume control over a year from laying to fledging, with a solitary egg laid in each one rearing endeavor. A Laysan gooney bird, named Wisdom on Midway Island is perceived as the most established wild winged animal on the planet; she was initially grouped in 1956 by Chandler Robbins.

Of the 21 types of gooney birds perceived by the IUCN, 19 have been undermined with elimination. Amounts of gooney birds have declined in the past because of reaping for quills, however today the gooney birds are debilitated by presented species, for example, rats and wild felines that assault eggs, chicks and settling grown-ups; by contamination; by a genuine decrease in fish stocks in numerous locales generally because of overfishing; and by longline angling. Longline fisheries represent the best risk, as nourishing fledglings are pulled in to the goad, get snared on the lines, and suffocate. Recognized stakeholders, for example, governments, protection associations and individuals in the angling business are all moving in the direction of diminishing this bycatch.
