This agile bird chooses ane pairtner for life; females lay ane egg per year. Razorbills nest alang coastal cliffs in enclosed or slichtly exponed crevices. The parents spend equal amoonts o time incubatin. Ance the chick haes hatched, the parents tak turns foragin for thair young an sometimes flee lang distances afore findin prey.
The Razorbill is primarily black wi a white unnerside. The male an female are identical in plumage; however, males are generally lairger than females. In 1918, the Razorbill wis pertectit in the Unitit States bi the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Ane o the major threats tae the population is climate chynge.
