Royal Albatross ~ BOK Feeds Her Little One Who Now Weighs 440g! Ranger Weight Check! 💕💞💕 1.28.26

BOK has been taking good care of her little chick & continues to provide multiple feedings each day. You can already see how much bigger & fluffier the chick is now. The DOC ranger weighed the chick & there was a 20g increase in weight overnight. ♥ Update from Sharyn Broni: 1000th toroa/albatross chick hatches at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head 500 of these chicks have hatched since 2007 when we celebrated the 500th chick to hatch. Due to the extreme business of hatching just now and the fact that 3 chicks had hatched over night the 1000th chick is likely to be the chick of past Royalcam parents LGK and LGL at Top Flat. It just so happens that Toroa the 500th chick and his parent Button are breeding this season. Button’s egg is now hatching but it will be a while before Toroa’s starts as it was the last to be laid this season. BOK & WYL's chick will have a health check and be weighed twice a day, weather allowing, for the first 5 days then once a day for the following 5 days before moving to weekly weighing. 2025/26 season update Many chicks have hatched now. We are extremely busy with the bulk of the eggs hatching over the next 10 days. Forty-seven eggs were laid in total this season, 2 eggs have broken and 2 were infertile, three has been determined late dead embryos. Loses are inevitable, our work maximises the number of chicks fledging but cannot prevent all negative outcomes. A lot of effort goes into protecting the hatching egg and vulnerable chick from fly strike which was, in the past, one of the leading causes of chick death at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head. For this reason, eggs are hatched in incubators then returned to the parents within a day of hatching. Read more about our work with the toroa here: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native...
