Record-breaking royal albatross chick gets weighed | 2025 season | Pukekura/ Taiaroa Head

A record-breaking chick weight for this season at the Royal Albatross colony at Pukekura/ Taiaroa Head. Started the morning doing the rounds, weighing all the chicks at the headland, and had a 10.2kg chick, which broke the record...Only to be topped by an 11kg chick shortly after! *Sorry, not sorry Kākāpō Recovery team - beat this chunky chick! You may have seen us banding the chicks over the past few weeks - we do this when the chicks' legs are nearly adult size. Don't miss out on the action.
