I live near water and usually stand on one leg to conserve body heat. I can be as short as 31 inches, but as tall as 57 inches tall from head to toe, and weigh anywhere from four to seven pounds.  I spend the majority of my day using my beak cleaning my feathers which spreads the oils to make my feathers waterproof.  This helps me travel long distances as far as 300 miles in one day. I eat different types of shellfish such as calms, snails, octopus, squid, mussels, plants, small fish, and shrimp.
