- Rangers from the New Zealand Department of Conservation stop by the Royal Cam nest to check in on the week-old nestling. At this stage of the nestling period, the chick at the Top Flat nest is receiving daily weight checks to ensure the young bird is growing as expected.
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.

Time after time, I can't get over how the parent never seems upset by the intrusion.
It's incredible. I wonder were they always so trusting? Or did it take a long time of building.
Yes, this is quite the wildlife anomaly.
it's a pea brain bird doh!
If you think mama albatross was greeting the humans, this is actually what she was thinking "You guys are 94 seconds late, let's pick up the pace. BTW where's Billy?"
Bird is obviously used to human presence from a young age.
There is so much trust between rangers and Albies - just amazing to watch 😊❤ I hope weight and all measurements were fine for both chicks today 🙏🤞❤
@EmiW7140 it's not trust...that dies not compute in the animal kingdom....there are no predators of the Royal Albatross that evolved on the islands of New Zealand, so they just are not afraid.
The parent preening itself while the Rangers examine the chick shows great trust.
What a tolerant parent.
So much trust! And love how the parent plops down on the little one, once baby has situated itself in the nest. What an amazing process to watch!
NZDOC Royal Albatross chick weighing is my new favorite type of RUclips video.
I just love how she gets the last word in. This is incredible to watch.
Curious as to what that signifies. Whether a warning or see you next time or... 🤷🏻♂️
@@darylneal989 They cluck as a greeting, then cluck again to say goodbye. Every one of those mothers do it when the rangers come over.
Based on their trusting and chill demeanor, it's not a warning.
They are literally removing the baby from the nest and putting it in a sack and the bird trusts them still. Amazing.
What a fantastically gorgeous bird.
For the next weigh in I think we will need a bigger bag!!😍 They grow SO fast! Love the little babies and the adults
Definitely a bigger bag 🥰
Mum wants the babysitting to be longer LOL
These bird families are incredibly precious ❤
Rangers are so good! Beautiful birds❤
The Mother is very patient with the rangers!
Incredible how you manage to gain the trust of the parents.
They are so trusting of humans.
Miminko krásně roste, vědci jsou úžasní ❤
What a beautiful moment of human and animals …. Those trust is amazing…
wonder how many chicks are at the site
They are so compliant.
This is so heartwarming! I love it! ❤
Such trust. Hope all is going well.
Waiting patiently till the rangers are done. ❤
All hail to the royal birb family ❤️
How do I get this job lol
❤ I know, dream job! .....but amongst the joy sometimes there must be heartache so they must be strong for that. Not sure I could be!
@@levithewonderdog335Study animal biology!:)
Study Ornithology and probably what a vet studies. Then hope you get one of the few open positions.
Gotta love that personalized health care......
Is anything wrong with baby? They were examining it detail for an extended time.
It's standard check-up, to be sure there's no flystrike.
What I noticed is the female ranger examined the top of the chick’s head, where a noticeable dark flat area exists. (Saw this spot on previous videos) . I hope Sharon can give us an update on todays exam. Extended exam inside the beak was also very obvious.
@vgorski7545 i hope the dark spot is just some squid milkshake spill
big baby ❤
love this!
So I'm guessing this is some small island off New Zealand? And are you checking hundreds of albatrosses nests there?
❤❤❤❤ super opieka dziękuję
This chick has 3 parents
Why does it need to be weighed? What would be the procedure if it didn't weigh enough?
@@williammorris4419 giving the Albatross parent a bit more food to feed the chick
难以想象，这些科学家对鸟类的研究是如此细致。
❤ Maybe like human Mums, she enjoys a break from nesting? 😅
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
were there no predators out there, that's why they nest on the ground? 🤔
Lots of birds nest on the ground even if they have predators to worry about and could theoretically nest in trees. Albatrosses are pretty big and typically nest in places with trees far too small to fit them.
🤩
Gentlemen, this is ornithology manifest...
It is that: Ok............ (Look)
And what does this achieve.
I mean sitting all day on eggs and chicks must be so damn boring, this must be like Entertaintment/Netflix for us.
island dwelling birds are just as tolerant of literally being eaten alive by invasive species though. But at least the albatross seems to understand humans are a sentient race since it bothers to greet and say goodbye.
“Tolerant”? I think this is a bit anthropomorphizing. I mean this isn’t social services scene. Looks like beautiful support of a graceful mother bird who understands Gods plan that we are supposed to act as the guardians of nature protecting it. Intrusion? this talk sullies what a gorgeous thing I just witnessed.
Now who's anthropomorphizing? Animals obviously aren't as stupid as we think them to be and can recognize people or behavior. This is obviously learnt. But humans will always remain the single greatest threat to every species on this planet including ourselves.
Because suggesting the bird has an understanding of the concept of God is not anthropomorphizng?
