These Majestic Seabirds Never Stop Pooping

Mainly birdwatching pix and ID help; please post approximate location (country/region/at least give us a continent!) - moderators needed (eventually?)
I have to imagine if one ever gets backed up for very long it's like fireworks. But that brings me back to something I've always wondered. Can birds be constipated?
I would imagine that every organism can get constipated, but they'd probably just die stuffed with poop; human bodies are far more resilient to disease and problems than other animals, generally speaking (as evidenced by our ability to eat onions, garlic, chocolate, avocados, etc. which would normally kill all sorts of other creatures).
My first thought is if they're constipated there are probably bigger issues like dehydration, but I'm not a bird lawyer. It's just all one hole so my mind ran with it lol
