Fork-tailed storm petrel marine mammals and also trailing behind fishing boats. Fork-tailed storm petrels have a well-developed olfactory system and heavily rely on odour to scout for food, so often they are the first birds to arrive at a pungent food source. When at the source, these birds seize their prey by fluttering across the water surface and may occasionally dive up to depths of 0.6 m.

This oil permits these birds to go for a long
