Feeding Habits
Tahiti Petrel primarily consumes fish and invertebrates, employing nocturnal foraging tactics at sea. It exhibits unique adaptations like enhanced senses for detecting prey in the dark.
Habitat
The tahiti Petrel is primarily marine and highly pelagic, favoring open ocean environments far from land, yet nests on tropical and subtropical volcanic islands. Its breeding sites are typically situated in areas with dense vegetation such as forests and shrublands, often on hills, slopes, and narrow ridges at elevations ranging from 200 to 2000 meters. Occasionally, the tahiti Petrel is also found breeding on low coralline islands.
