Flew Alaska to the Australia

The bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica), known by the tag number "234684," flew 13,560 kilometres (8,435 miles) from Alaska to the Australian state of Tasmania without stopping for food or rest, breaking the record for the longest non-stop migration of a bird."The distance travelled is equal to two and a half trips between London and New York, or roughly one-third of the planet's circumference. The epic journey began on October 13, 2022, according to the 5G satellite tag attached to its lower back, and lasted 11 days and one hour without the bird landing once "According to the record-keeping organisation.

Broke the previous record of 217 miles

This year's Godwit broke the previous record of 217 miles set by another bird of the same species in 2020.According to Eric Woehler of Birdlife Tasmania, the bird probably lost "half or more of its body weight during continuous day and night flight."Short-tailed shearwaters and mutton birds can land and feed on the water. If a Godwit falls into water, it drowns. It can't get off because it doesn't have the webbing on its feet. So if it exhausts itself and falls to the ocean's surface, or if bad weather forces it to land, that's the end of it."
