1. Bar-Tailed Godwit: The Bar-Tailed Godwit holds the record for the longest non-stop flight by a bird. In 2022, a Bar-Tailed Godwit named "4BBRW" flew 13,560 kilometers (8,425 miles) from Alaska to New Zealand in 11 days and 1 hour without stopping.
2. Arctic Tern: Arctic Terns undertake one of the longest migrations of any bird species. They breed in the Arctic and migrate all the way to Antarctica and back each year, covering a total distance of approximately 19,000 kilometers (12,000 miles).
3. Sooty Shearwater: Sooty Shearwaters are long-distance flyers that spend most of their lives at sea. They can soar for weeks or even months without touching land, covering vast distances across oceans.
4. Wandering Albatross: Wandering Albatrosses are known for their extensive gliding flights. They can cover long distances by soaring over the ocean, taking advantage of winds and thermals.
5. Common Swift: Common Swifts are small migratory birds that can spend months in flight during their migration. They can travel thousands of kilometers without stopping, feeding and sleeping on the wing.
These are just a few examples of birds capable of long-distance flights. Different bird species have adapted to their specific habitats and migration patterns, resulting in remarkable feats of long-distance flying.
