- In some trouble
Despite their small stature, Cook’s petrels or “Cookies” make long journeys over hundreds or even thousands of kilometres to forage for a feed of squid in deep waters. Once the breeding season is over, Cook’s petrels embark on an even more epic trans-Pacific journey, with Hauraki Gulf birds travelling to the North Pacific off California, and Codfish Island birds heading to South America.

Kia ora! My name is Cookie! I’m a Cook’s petrel. A seabird! As a seabird that often gets disorientated by lights flying across Auckland, I'm flying for NZ's Bird of the Year 2024! #VoteCookie
