Royal Albatross Chick Graduates To A Bigger Bag During Weight Check | DOC | Cornell Lab

A ranger from the New Zealand Department of Conservation drops in for the Royal Cam chick's weekly weigh-in on February 11. At 20 days old, the growing Northern Royal Albatross nestling has graduated to a larger, more colorful weighing bag. The scale tips at 3.28 pounds (1.49 kilograms) as the youngster continues to develop. The #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.

The 2025–26 season features an established pair at the Plateau nest site: 11-year-old male WYL (named for his leg bands—White, Yellow, Lime) and 12-year-old female BOK (Blue, Orange, blacK). This duo has been breeding together since 2022, but this is their first season as the featured pair on the Royal Cam. Their initial breeding attempt was unsuccessful; however, their second attempt produced a male chick that successfully fledged in 2024. This year’s fertile egg was laid on November 6, 2025.
