The
white-necked petrel (
Pterodroma cervicalis) is a
seabird in the family
Procellariidae; adults measure some 43 centimetres (17 in) in length, with a wingspan of 95โ105 centimetres (37โ41 in). Although the species is found in much of the South Pacific, it breeds on only three islands and is thus considered
vulnerable by the
IUCN.
