Are seabirds useful, tasty, or economically important for humans? What are some seabird myths and legends?
This month we’re learning about the importance of seabirds in human communities.
Kiviaq is an Inuit dish from Greenland. It is made by stuffing a seal-skin with 300 to 500 dovekies. 
The full skin is sealed with seal fat and the dovekies are left to ferment for 3 to 18 months under a pile of rocks. The resulting Kiviaq is the consistency of soft cheese, and is eaten during the winter when fresh food is scarce.
