Tiny songbird can fly the Atlantic, scientists confirm
Tipping the scale at a mere 4.2 ounces (12 grammes), the white-throated, black-capped blackpoll warbler (Setophaga striata) migrates each autumn from New England to South America.

Coconuts do float, and can migrate to other islands via currents. However, if coconuts float in saltwater for a period of time they become sterile - they cannot make new coconut trees. And you thought this website was only for aviation news you can use... ;-)

African or European???

Last I checked New England is somewhere in North America quite some distance from Europe and South America is also quite far from Africa!
Maybe you should buy an atlas or else use Google Maps now that you are on a computer with Internet access.
