   Bird Flies 37 Miles To Be With Girlfriend

Wellington, New Zealand

 Distance proved no obstacle for an intrepid New
Zeland tomtit, which braved open seas to fly more
than 37 miles back to his ladylove.

 The tiney black and white bird, tagged with the
initials "RG," stunned conservation staff members
when re re-appeared in the North Island's Hunua
Ranges, 2 months after he was transferred to an
island wildlife sanctuary north of Auckland.

 "They weren't able to catch his mate, so they
took the male tomtit and left his mate behind and
he decided, `I'm going home,'" said Warwick
Murray, a staff member of the Department  of
Conservation.
