A bucket of "gurry" thrown overboard was the signal for battle. Shearwaters clamored, dove and squabbled while overhead loomed the POMARINE Corsairs, in dark or light uniforms.
There were plenty of "scraps" but "stealing" was so ingrained that the JAEGERs made no attempt to pick a bit from the sea. They waited until a "hag" carried some aloft, then threatened it free and in a swift nosedive, caught the plunder in air. The twisted center tail feathers probably give these birds extra control for back somersaults and other extraordinary maneuvers are all in the day's flying.
Altho the largest of the genus, they use more discretion than other Jaegers, seldom attacking large Gulls. There is no love lost between Jaegers. Parasitic and Longtails frequently harry Pomarines, even driving them in terror into the sea.
