Royal Albatross Hatchling Gets A Weight Check From Rangers In New Zealand | DOC | Cornell Lab

  • It's time to check the weight of the Northern Royal Albatross hatchling at the Top Flat nest!
    Watch Ranger Sharyn from the New Zealand Department of Conservation stop by to gently inspect the hatchling, weigh it with a bag and scale, and spray the nest with a bird-safe insecticide that will help keep parasitic flies away from the chick.
    At the end, Ranger Sharyn gives an update that the chick is close to recovering its hatch weight of 300 grams. It is normal for hatchings to lose some weight after returning to the nest. They should recover quickly and begin to grow as the adults begin feeding sessions.
    RoyalCam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation and the Cornell Lab has been collaborating with DOC since 2019 to bring the cam to life. To learn more while watching, view the cam at

    *******************************
    Royal Cam is a 24-hour live stream of a Northern Royal Albatross nest during the breeding season at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head on the southeast tip of New Zealand's South Island.
    This season (2023-24) features two nests in view. At the main site to the left of the frame, male LGK (named for his colored leg band combination: Lime/Green/Black) and female LGL (Lime/Green/Lime) return to the Top Flat nest site, where they are caring for a single egg laid on November 7.
    Nearby to the right, male WYL (White/Yellow/Lime) and female BOK (Blue/Orange/Black) have been tending to their egg since it was laid on November 14 at the Top Track Flat site. This site is currently obscured by tall grass, which will die down and open up the view as the season progresses.

    to get all the updates during what’s sure to be another action-packed season on New Zealand’s South Island.

      Yeah, the parents are old pros but you can hear the little one being very vocal in their protest 😀

    Love the care NZ DoC rangers provide! 💕 I continue to be astounded by how calm these big beautiful Albatross parents are as humans just casually take the little one (and have to assume the parents know it's all for good reason). Thanks to everyone at the DoC and the Royal Albatross Centre.

    In the beginning it’s a small bag, and after a while, they need a huge basket and two rangers to get a weight 😀

    Ranger Sharyn and her team continue to do their devout specialized work again this season. I watched them with Lilibet and Manaaki too. LGL mom vocalized at that end as what appears was a gratitude gesture. The albatross amaze me with their trust, gentle nature and Mighy presence . What a beautiful beginning to this season. 💝🙏

    they are so precious (the parent and the baby). the parent is so patient waiting for the staff to finish their examination. I would be worried either the parent or the baby would get nervous and fidgety. even the baby did not seem to mind the exam...

  • @CrowSkeleton
    @CrowSkeleton Před 6 měsíci

    I wonder if the albatrosses have been under conservation long enough that they think that it's a normal part of growing up to be put in a bag and weighed, or if that's just the fatal lack of predator reaction they tend to have on remote islands turned to good use for once. I also wonder a bit if the albatrosses would like scritches, because most birds do...

      She said the chick has lost some weight which is normal in the first day. It's gained a little bit from the first feed but not up to 300grams it was last time. She will do an update later.
