    First time mom was very affectionate with TFT. She has to make absolutely sure he is gone.
    Thanks to you and all the humans that help the albatross thrive to the end when their strong wings take flight. Ahh, love is all around.
    And more love and joy to come with the new arrivals.

    Seeing these heartbroken parents missing their chicks puts a whole new perspective on all the creatures that need the oceans, and the planet. My wish is more people will take the time to look, learn and listen to these beautiful beings, and decide to actually save them by saving our planet ❤😢.

      People are the biggest threat to wildlife whether it be land or seat
      There selfishness knows no bound and seabirds and sea creatures are getting the brunt of this. I work on Alcatraz which was a prison and now a national park thousands of stupid people daily on a bird sanctuary because that what it is now
      When nesting I have seen people try to steal the gull eggs 🥚 throwing lil gooselings back and forth while dad films it. I yell at and report people all the time
      It’s like they have left all common sense at the hotel . It makes me begin to dislike visitors a lot. It is so good that ignorant humans are not allowed here Conservatory is much better for wildlife like birds that friggen national parks turned into bird sanctuary’s it’s ludicrous

    The babies have flown away from the nest but the parents continue to wait for them to feed them. I think she is sad and anxious because this is her first child. Parents can have a rest a bit. That's great job!
    Thanks a million for this wonderful season. I am looking forward to see the next season. I thank you Lady Hawk for these amazing videos. ❤❤❤

      Hello Sergei I agree with you - I think BOK shows she was confused and sad that her chick was not there anymore. This is a learning experience for her being a first time Mom. I think it is harder on her then on the other more experience female albatross in the colony. She did a great job I am so proud of her and WYL ♥ Thank you for watching the season - it certainly is a long one! And now we are getting ready to kick off the new season shortly - YRK has returned already! (She is bereaved female who lost her mate OGK last season). We are hoping that she finds a new mate this year and lays an egg. ♥

    Although seemingly heartbreaking this scenario of finding an empty nest has been played out throughout the colony since the beginning of the species. Surely they acknowledge instinctively that their chicks have fledged.

      And of course BOK fledgedtoo. I think both she and LGL spent so much time there because of lack of wind, they left when it picked up the day after.
      These birds are actually very independent compared to a lot of birds, so it is likely we are more sad than they are and put our behaviour pattens on them.

      And that’s what they do. Once fledged they stay at sea for 4-5 years but the oceans are becoming so dangerous with all the nets left floating around sink hooks and plastic which they can take back to their babies and the babies die from eating plastic .

    Dear BOK is new to this, isn't she? She can't know her darling child has fledged successfully, all her love & care and mommy-ing making it possible. She also doesn't know her youngster(s) will return in 4-7 yrs to seek his own partner. By the time TFT returns, hopefully his parents will have had a new baby or 2, and become aware of & accustomed to their fledging, and celebrate with their successes with love sauteed in pride well earned!❤🎉

    Sweet mom BOK, the life of an albatross parent is this: months of absolute dedication to an egg and a chick, and then, in an instant, it's all over, without gradually preparing for this inevitable epilogue. In our own way, we have all shared your skycall and hugged you... with some reluctance, you will leave the cliff and go to regain strength in the open sea and then, dragged by an invisible but tenacious thread, you will return again and a new cycle of the miracle of life will begin again.

      Hello Merritt that is correct. The chicks do not come back to get fed after they fledge. They are on their own and have to learn how to forage at sea! The chicks will also not return to land anywhere in the world until they are of breeding age and they will then return to their natal nest here at Taiaroa in 5-8 years!

    @rosalindy5674 Месяц назад

    Aww....I just watched this (at last) dear Lady Hawk. Dear BOK was really puzzled at her chick's absence and since it had been some days since he fledged, his scent would have been a bit fainter than if he had just fledged that day or the day before. BOK, WYL and their darling TFT chick have been the perfect neighbors for the RC Family, LGK, LGL and TF chick throughout the season. How very fortunate we have been to be able to observe and imagine their stories as the two boys matured and all four parents came home to feed their chick (and only their own chick, teaching them one of the first rules of parenting). It is sad to see the season end, even as we look forward to a new season, with the arrival of the first returnee, YRK, the day before TF fledged. However, this is a way of life for Albatross species and we are learning that they follow their instincts and with safe foraging, good fortune and rest/reconditioning for an off-season, these parents will return every other year to reunite with their mates and begin the breeding/nesting cycle again. Long may they thrive! ✨✨💖💖💗💗💖💖✨✨
