Flying 2,000 km to find a mate—meet Australia's most determined seabirds
New genetic testing from the University of the Sunshine Coast has uncovered the extraordinary lengths a group of Queensland seabirds will travel to keep love blossoming on their little island. It's a common complaint for single Australians living out in the sticks. Everyone is either taken...or related.
