which two species of bird don't live anywhere else other than South Georgia Island

3 answers

South Georgia Island is home to two bird species that are breeding endemics to the island: the South Georgia pipit (Anthus antarcticus) and the South Georgia seabird (which can refer to the South Georgia black-browed albatross, but it's important to note that this species is not exclusive to South Georgia, although it breeds there). The South Georgia pipit is particularly notable for being the only songbird native to the island and is found nowhere else in the world.

answer choices

the pipit and red-tailed hawk

the pintail and the red-tailed hawk

the pipit and the pintail

The correct answer is the pipit and the pintail. The South Georgia pipit is endemic to South Georgia Island, while the pintail, specifically the South Georgia subspecies of the northern pintail, is also found there. The red-tailed hawk does not inhabit South Georgia Island.
