Useful advice for you! These are Black Skimmers, which are remarkable because the lower half of their beak is much longer than the upper half.

From “Empok Nor” (5x11)

Nog and O’Brien are back in the cargo back working. Nog wants to know about Garak’s needling. O’Brien is not-explaining when, speak of the devil…

Nog: Chief, why does Garak keep bringing up Setlik III? 

O’Brien: Because he wants to get under my skin. 

Nog: But you were a hero, weren’t you? 

O’Brien: That doesn’t mean I like thinking about what happened then. I was a soldier, Nog. Sometimes soldiers have to kill. 

Garak: Come now, Chief, don’t be so modest. You did a lot of killing. 

Nog: How’d you get in here? Both doors are secure. 

Garak: Secure is such a relative term, wouldn’t you agree? I’ve brought you something, if you don’t mind.  [Another Third Battalion insignia.] I’m sure Pechetti would have appreciated it more, but…

O’Brien: Where did you get this? 

Garak: From its former owner. 

Nog: You killed one of the soldiers? 

Garak: One down, one to go.

---

Nog’s not afraid of Garak… yet. O’Brien, however, is definitely starting to hearken to his Spidey Senses.
