- Fakta menarik
- The Parakeet Auklet gets its name from its stubby, upturned orange bill — so distinctively rounded that its genus was once called Cyclorrhynchus ("circle-billed") — giving it a fixed, doll-like, almost smiling expression unlike any other auk.
- Sebaran
- North Pacific: breeds from Hokkaido, Japan and the Kamchatka/Sea of Okhotsk coast of Siberia across the Aleutians, Bering Sea islands, and southern Chukchi Sea to coastal Alaska; winters at sea south to central California, with occasional records off Canada and Mexico
- Makanan
- Marine invertebrates taken by pursuit-diving: gelatinous zooplankton (jellyfish, ctenophores) and crustaceans such as euphausiids, copepods, and hyperiid amphipods, especially during the breeding season
