ANSWER ;-

GREAT AUK BELONGSTO THE FAMILY ALCIDAE

ORDER;- CHARDRIIFORMES

Before anyone versed in natural history had endeavoured to study the living bird in the field , infact no naturalist ever reported having met with a GREAT AUK in in its natural environment , although specimens for occassionally kept in captivity for short periods of time .

for instance , the DANISH NATURALIST oleworm [1655] ,obtained a live birds from the faroe islands and observed it for several months and fleming [1824] had the oppurtunity to study a GREAT AUK that had been caught on the island of the st. KILDA , outer hebrides , in 1821.

Thus , the sad history of this grand , flightless auk has received considerable attention and has often been told . still , the final episode of the epilogue deserves to be repeated , probably already before the beginning of the 19th century , the GREAT AUK was gone on the in the western side of the atlantic , and in europe it was on the verge of extinction . the last few pairs were known to breed on some isolated skeeries and rocks off southwestern peninsula of iceland .
