Are sea birds becoming too dumb to survive? (http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/dn8287)

Gaia Vince

The global decline in seabird populations is of growing concern to ecologists, and now researchers have discovered a new cause ¡V some may be becoming too stupid to survive.

Climate change may be the root of the trouble. New environmental conditions lead fish to migrate, leaving the birds that feed on them malnourished. The new research shows that lack of a specific nutrient in red-legged kittiwakes damages their cognitive abilities and could leave them too daft to find food.
