Ilhéu dos Pássaros is a small uninhabited islet in the Cape Verde archipelago. It lies about 700 m (2,300 ft) off the northeastern coast of the island of Boa Vista, near the beach Praia das Gatas. The area of the islet is 0.82 ha (2.0 acres); with 38 ha (94 acres) of surrounding marine area it forms a protected area (Reserva Natural Integral Ilhéu dos Pássaros).[1][2] It is a low, flat islet, covered with sedimentary material and sand. It is connected with the main island by a chain of reefs and volcanic rocks. It is an important nesting site for white-faced storm petrel and band-rumped storm petrel.[1]
