It's been a long time since I last posted screenshots of this adorable Royal Albatross chick. She has grown so much!
Good moorning! Who's that beautiful sea bird stretching her big wings?
It's the baby! No longer so much of a baby - Atawhai is 222 days old today, and not far from fledging now. Albatross chicks mature slowly, and the parents only have one chick every two years. The first chick from her colony fledged today, though, so catch a glimpse of her while you can. Albatrosses live at sea and only come to land for the mating season, and this season's chicks won't be taking part in that for at least four years after fledging.
So cute!
Walking around the camera.
Peekaboo!
Dad visits! Atawhai is on the left.
They had a lot to say to each other before feeding.
Also some cute screenshots from a month ago that I forgot to post then:
Still very fluffy.
Wings are starting to look like wings, though.
