    The red Shearwater drifts out to sea during the off-breeding season, feeding on squid, small fish, and mollusks. Return to shore only during breeding season. Each clutch lays 1(rare 2) eggs, which are laid on the ground or in ground depressions and cracks. Both parents care for the chicks and leave about a week before they become feathers, and the chicks rely on stored fat to complete their development

    Listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ver 3.1:2009 Red List of birds - Critically Endangered (CR).
