Detailed introduction
The Kermadec Petrel, scientifically known as *Pterodroma neglecta*, is a small petrel.
The Crested Shelduck of Crooked Island often flies low over the ocean, chasing the waves. It feeds on invertebrates such as small fish, squid, and crustaceans. Some species often follow ships to catch dead fish and food scraps discarded by humans.
