Cook's petrelTītī

Small but mighty - tītī or “Cookies” – are the ocean’s long‑haul flyers. They’ll zip hundreds – even thousands – of kilometres in search of squid suppers. Once breeding’s done, they set off on an even more epic trip: Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf birds head to California, while their Whenua Hou cousins aim for South America. All that in a body lighter than your phone.
