What fresh hell is this? This photo seems to be of a completely made-up bird. At very least, they're not #tropicbirds. Even young ones have much stouter bills than these, the colouration is all wrong, and the crests are not appropriate. If you look at their feet, they connect oddly with the two twigs. This seems clearly (and needlessly) to be an AI-generated photo.
The text is dubious as well. In what universe would you call them "apex predators"?

Paleocene Fossil Illuminates Early Evolutionary History of Tropicbirds
https://www.sci.news/paleontology/clymenoptilon-novaezealandicum-12233.htmlPartial skeleton from the #Paleocene of New Zealand illuminates the early evolutionary history of the #Phaethontiformes (#tropicbirds) https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03115518.2023.2246528
"These #pelagic #birds are relics of a once much more widespread and diverse group of birds, whose #fossil record goes back into the earliest #Paleogene. The newly-identified species lived in what is now #NewZealand 62 million years ago."
