  • The great skua is a large seabird in the skua family Stercorariidae. The name English and species name `skua` is believed to originate from the Faroese skúvur or skúgvur and is the only known bird name to originate from the Faroes that has come into regular use elsewhere. In Britain, it is sometimes known by the name bonxie, a Shetland name of Norse origin.The genus name Stercorarius is Latin and means `of dung`; the food disgorged by other birds when pursued by skuas was once thought to be excrement.
