The Magenta Petrel or Chatham Island Taiko (Pterodroma magentae) is a small seabird in the gadfly petrel genus, Pterodroma.

This medium-sized petrel has a brownish-grey back and wings, the undersides of the wings are brown and the belly is white. It has a black bill and pink legs. Adults weigh 400 580 g and nest in 13 m long burrows under dense forest. The tiko was believed to be extinct for almost a century, until its rediscovery by David Crockett in 1978. Nearly ten years later, in 1987, the first tiko burrow was discovered in southern Chatham Island. A single egg is laid each year. This species is classified as critically endangered due to an assumed population decline in excess of 80% in the last 60 years and the fact that it is restricted to one small location. The current population is estimated at between 80 and 100 mature individuals. In the 2005 breeding season, the 13 known breeding pairs successfully fledged 11 chicks. It is often referred to as the world's rarest seabird. The main threats to the species are introduced mammalian predators, principally cats and rats. A conservation strategy is in place on the island to translocate chicks to an area where the main threats have been removed called the Sweetwater Secure Breeding Site. The control of predators in taiko breeding areas is critical and each year DOC undertakes major cat and rat control programmes in the Tuku Nature Reserve. Taiko burrows are monitored throughout the season to ensure the chicks survival. A predator-proof fence has been built around a small area of covenanted land by the Taiko Trust and taiko chicks are being translocated to this site in an effort to create a new colony in this secure site.
