Answer 1

Salt excreting glands are found near nostrils in marine birds like Albatross.

Explanation:

Marine birds (e.g., albatross, petrels) have paired supraorbital (nasal/salt) glands located above the eyes. These glands excrete a concentrated saline solution (often appearing as “salty tears”) that drains through ducts into the nasal cavity, allowing the birds to rid themselves of excess salt.
