An illustrated key for identification of colour aberrations in alcids with a revision of nomenclature used by K. Cieślińska, P. Bodson, E. Gruber, K. Piening, M. Syposz, K. Wojczulanis-Jakubas, D. Jakubas

“…Colour aberrations of plumage or bare parts of the body have been described in many avian taxa but their frequency in populations is low. In recent years, due to the development of cameras and the ability to share observations via social media, reports on observations of aberrantly coloured birds have become more common even in groups of birds breeding in less accessible sites, such as seabirds. …”
